Oil use must be slashed by a third in ten years, not to save the planet — but to save the US

These influential men — collectively known as the Military Advisory Board, a facet of the non-profit research group CNA — say the US needs to slash its oil use by one third over the next decade for national-security reasons, and that the means are there to do it.

It should be said that the arguments in the report, Ensuring America’s Freedom of Movement: a National Security Imperative to Reduce America’s Oil Dependence, have nothing to do with global warming and everything to do with oil dependency.
