God Bless America or God Save America?

It nearly seems like people as a whole are completely blind to the world. I mean how on earth did we end up like this? We have allowed ourselves to become fully dependent on oil. Oil, a natural resource, which we as Americans must import. We are dependent on a time sensitive, highly profitable, foreign country run product. We fear terrorism? True terrorism would be the destruction of our access to fuel. Our country would shut down. Our whole world would stop short. So who do we blame for this? Ourselves. We have let ourselves be led by a government that has not mass produced any of the many, many alternatives to this fuel crisis. So far the most mainstream answer is overpriced hybrid cars which has forty mpg instead of twenty. That's the best we can do? At a time like this, when we have factories being run on methane gas from garbage dumps, green houses being fed the co2 waste from factories, this is the best answer we have? A car that uses slightly less gas? And to really get this solution out to the public were going to charge more money for the hybrid model then its gas hungrier counterpart. What a joke. God bless America, or as it will soon read, god save America.
