Not by stopping oil imports from that region. The U.S. remains the #1 oil producer in the world, and most of the oil we need to import comes from Canada, Mexico and Central America. Saudi Arabia is a minor player and the only Middle Eastern we import oil from..
Supposedly oil will run out some day. Alternative energy sources are only good for one thing...to conserve oil, not to replace it.
Oil is the lifeblood of the world. There is no other substitute.
I don't ever expect a C-5 cargo jet delivering supplies to a earthquake ravaged county on the other side of the world to be flying on solar power.
....even though solar flight has been accomplished.
