Chavez wants Venezuelan oil tankers going to places other than the USA

Politicians are demanding that the US become less dependant on foreign oil, but the near-term options seem weak. The politics of drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Reserve and the Gulf region are too hot to have anything happen soon. Hydrogen is several years away from being an alternative energy source.

Meanwhile, the highly fragile political situations in the countries that are the greatest sources of oil strongly suggest the price of oil will remain high.
