According to the analysis presented in this article, the U.S. must find a political solution to some of the economic problems that have been plaguing the oil industry. If indeed, increasing world demand, declining world production and continued political instability in the key Persian Gulf oil-producing nations constitute a threatening oil/energy crisis, then it will continue to become more evident. The author discusses how the U.S. Congress should be persuaded to move. They must take action in a political arena dominated by a consumer's bias, regional prejudices and a general unawareness that the nation's energy tank is near empty.
