"Oil dependence puts U.S. at risk"
27/Aug/2006: Former U.S. Sen. Gary Hart delivered the keynote address Saturday for the third annual Aspen Renewable Energy Day to a nearly full Paepcke Auditorium. "We will never be secure if we continue to pursue the same energy policies," said Hart, who represented Colorado as a Democrat.
Hart claims that long ago he predicted terrorist attacks in the U.S. and says that risking American lives in Iraq for the sake of oil is "immoral." Hart proposes a plan of "energy security" - what he also called a "21st-century security" - which would include feeding, clothing and taking care of people, as well as using efficient renewable energy sources to end reliance on foreign oil.
Admitting that talking about energy conservation in Aspen was like "preaching to a Baptist choir," he stressed that "energy and vitality on state and local level could mean our salvation."
