Obama was delivering a speech on energy policy at Georgetown University. Meeting the goal of cutting US oil dependence depends largely on two things, Obama said: finding and producing more oil at home, and reducing dependence on oil with cleaner alternative fuels and greater efficiency. And we have to do it quickly.
