Middle East unrest and world oil: Always something

by Robert Siegel on February 1, 2011

The uprising in Egypt, Tunisia, Jordan, and throughout the Middle East have refreshed concerns over world oil supplies.  That should not even be worthy of the term, “News,” because there is nothing “New,” about the situation.

The U.S. and the rest of the world need to end our use of oil.  Not just our dependency on oil from Middle Eastern totalitarian, terrorist sponsoring nations.  Ending dependency is not enough because as long as hard currency flows to these unsettled parts of the world, the continued unrest will destabilize economies.

Drill here and drill now, but while doing that, let’s free alternative energy from government barriers and stop our government from providing financial support to oil with our tax dollars. National and international security – economic security and personal safety, all depend on our end the use of oil.
