Sure, politicians do with events what they do, R's or D's. Be it war, national security, 9/11, oil spills, immigration violence, etc...
The answer is not to cold-turkey our industry. But there are multiple reasons why we should be moving more toward Wind Energy. It will never completely replace the need for oil though. But watching that live camera shot of the oil pumping billions of gallons of oil into the ocean is sickening. Tarred up beaches, lack of fishing and tourism, plus the overall ecological damage is devastating.

you got the 4 trillion dollars it will take to put up the transmission lines Wind take?
oh and what do you do when the wind aint blowing?
oh and coal and natural gas supply the electricity to the grid that wind could possibly replace.
Oil is used for transportation. as of yet there is no technology in existance that can supplant gas as the fuel for transportation.
