[Peakoil] Obama calls for deep cuts in US oil imports

[Keith Thomas]

It's petroleum consumption rather than importation that's the problem.

Americans have a weird idea that it's better to trash their own environment by mining shale oil and tar sands than importing oil from relatively benign operations overseas.

Is Obama laying the groundwork to begin a defence of nuclear power when the Fukushima fuss dies down? Is this a plug for more shale oil exploitation, fracking, deep sea drilling, Alaskan exploitation and mountaintop removal in the US?
