This week, the White House announced a new goal of cutting foreign oil imports by one-third in just a little over ten years. In a speech at Georgetown University on Wednesday, Obama laid out a comprehensive national energy policy for reaching this goal, which includes increasing U.S. oil production, investing in natural gas and renewable biofuels and increasing transportation efficiency.
