I was only 7 but oddly enough I do remember it. I just saw a petition being passed around at Americansolutions.com Apparently Newt Gingrich is the chairman and he is trying to get the attention of Congress to open up domestic oil sources. Seems to be a fairly popular idea. They have over 53,000 signatures already. If nothing else its an interesting history lesson in global politics.
Not sure I'd trust a politician to solve this problem. They are part of the problem in that our leadership has not been proactive whatsoever.
