With few short term fixes, America’s energy crises is starting to seriously pinch pocketbooks from coast to coast. (Washington Post)

The nation has to become far more energy independent and could risk falling into a 1970s energy quagmire that threatens national security. The current Administration must make difficult decisions about where to get our next oil fix, Saudi Arabia? Venezuela? Those choices come with possibly compromising our ideologies and various lines in the sand.
