Gary Hart was is Aspen yesterday talking about the U.S. and it's dependence on foreign oil, according to the Aspen Daily News. From the article, "The nation's reliance on foreign oil not only has environmental ramifications, but it also threatens the country's national security, former Sen. Gary Hart said in a speech in Aspen on Saturday. 'Our foreign policy is totally controlled by our dependence on foreign oil -- to our detriment,' Hart said. The former Democratic senator and one-time presidential candidate was speaking at Aspen Renewable Energy Day, an annual event that focuses on reducing fossil fuel dependence in favor of alternative fuels like solar and wind power. Hart warned that the nation's dependence on oil was driving wars like the current Iraq war and fueling a new generation of terrorists resentful of American occupation there. Reducing the country's dependence on foreign oil is key to increasing national security, he said."
