Are we (as Americans) ever going to be able to free our addiction from oil?

I don't really want to, myself. I come from generations of sports car owners, many of us love our cars and fast trucks. Can there be alternatives that can help our country stay powerful and our citizens still enjoy our need for speed?


Answer
I think we will eventually. For a few reasons:
1) There finally seems to be enough momentum and interest on the part of consumers for vehicles that consume less gas. Its no longer a "fringe thing" or a hobby or a "tree hugger" thing. Every day people are fed up with high gas prices and our dependence on less friendly nations. The more demand there is from consumers, the more incentive manufacturers will have to make such vehicles.
2) Gas prices are not coming down significantly anytime soon. There was a bit on 60 Minutes a few weeks ago where Texas Billionaire investor T. Boone Pickens was discussing investments he was making in Canadian Oil Sands. He said "We'll never see $1.50 gas again." I agree. With the surging demand from countries that are just starting out in their economic growth cycles (India and China), the demand for all petroleum based products is only going to get worse. This will further push up world oil prices and further infuriate already frustrated consumers of gas.
3) On the innovation front, Venture Capital firms and others with money to invest are looking for the "next big thing". The Internet was the fad of the 90's. Now, looking for a new wave to catch, I'd say a significant amount of money is going into startups looking at ways to reduce our dependence on petroleum. This could include investments in Fuel Cells, Hydrogen Technologies, Solar Technologies, BioDiesel, etc. Innovations that come out of these investment efforts should, hopefully, yield some technologies that help the US (and world) consumers break their addiction to oil.
