The big problem is, we ignored it for too long. We should have been looking for solutions like this 36 years ago when our dependence on foreign oil was brought to light by the first embargo.

For sure. Typical, wait till it's too late and too expensive.
ex. What happened to all the talk of drilling, or not, when gas was $4 a gallon.
Now that it's under $2 ,talk has ceased until it goes up to $5 in the future and
no cheap alternative energy sources have been developed.
Imho drilling for domestic oil has to be ,at least in the 10year plan, if there is such a thing.
