The best answer, at this point, is to make definite strides towards:
1 - a solid replacement for a petroleum source. One that will drastically reduce our need for oil from foreign sources and, potentially, let us become an exporter.
2 - Methodology to slow our ever increasing usage. Note that this isn't just in vehicles, but all across the board in all petroleum products.
3 - find, refine, and start using alternative energy sources. FBR nuclear, geothermal, wind, solar, etc.
All that stuff about finding a replacement for oil might sound good as a 10 second soundbite to certain types of people.
The truth is.... there IS NOT going to be a suitable replacement anytime in the near future. Nothing even comes close to the usefulness of petroleum.
We need it, and we need it NOW. We needed it yesterday. There is plenty of petroleum right under North America. We are being kept from using our own resources by a tiny minority of nefarious people with a dangerous amount of undue influence over our society.
Those same people are going to prevent extended use of nuclear power too.
We don't have an energy crisis. We have a crisis of undue influence and control by small number of people.
