Jim in post 35 you stated how this is going to reduce our dependence on foreign oil. I have thought about this and even covered it in my blog.
I think this mandate may cause us to use less oil, but it doesn't change where we get it from. It may not have any effect on opec countries if they reduce their supply to counter the reduced demand. They will just charge more for the little they produce. In the end, they could make the same amount of money and thats the only real thing that matters.
