How can the United States transition from an oil based country to one that isn’t reliant on oil?

    The tow major factors here are energy production and transportation.  Energy production needs to be based on renewable sources alone.  Transportation of all kinds should be based on electric, hydrogen vehicles, and wood gas vehicles.  Oil needs to be heavily regulated and unsubsidized.  Clean technologies, such as those mentioned, should be heavily funded to push this transition as soon as possible.  Unfortunately, much of the process towards advancing these technologies has been stalled by tainted bureaucracies.  For example, kits that allow for normal engines to be converted to hydrogen were developed in 2008, but were stalled for many years after.  Now that legal issues are cleared, the company is struggling from lack of funds due to the economy.
