According to the Washington Post, former CIA director R. Woosley Jr. believes that America purchasing foreign oil is contributing to terrorism. It disagrees with Woosley saying that America's two biggest suppliers of crude oil are Canada and Mexico which are two countries that are not quite known for having terrorist. It also states that the the 9-11 plotters spent somewhere between $400,000 and $500,000 planning and executing the attack so they would not really need all the money spent on foreign oil. There is a new energy bill requiring the U.S. to produce 36 billion gallons of biofuel by 2022 but that is a small dent in the 360 billion gallons we consume each year - 200 billion of which is imported. This is trying to say that this will not rid us of our oil dependency. Soybeans would only produce 1.5% of America's oil needs and corn would only provide 6% even if we devoted all our corn crops to producing oil. It implies that we are better off importing oil than going it on our on.


Does the U.S. have an alternative plan then? If so, what?
What happens if the prices of oil keep raising and we keep paying?
What other sources of alternative energy do we have?
