Nonetheless, the White House does not want any sort of goal set to reduce dependence on foreign oil. The White House worked hard to defeat a move by Sen. Maria Cantwell (D., Wash.) to set a goal of reducing crude oil consumption by 40 percent by 2025. About 58 percent of the daily use of 20 million barrels is imported. Unless something changes, the United States will be importing 68 percent of its oil use by 2025.

Sen. Kit Bond (R., Mo.) said he opposed Ms. Cantwell's amendment because it was a "back-door effort to increase the corporate average fuel economy" (CAFE) standards for automobiles.《〈〈〈 He said that was unrealistic and would mean disruption in the transportation industry, mean smaller, lighter cars - "golf carts" - and more highway deaths.〉〉〉〉

SM: This week OPEC announced it will consider a possible output rise of 500,000 barrels per day to cool prices. How effective will that be?
RD: OPEC has been a little bit behind the ball here. They did it also in 2004. The problem is that they don't have spare capacity. It's not like they can just release more. Most of it is from heavy and sour barrels, which is poorer quality. It's a quality issue. These are discounted because there's too much in the market. They can't produce light sweet oil, which is a higher quality. They maxed out on this. They're reducing the price of heavy barrels, but there are limited things they can do. SM: Do you see any comparisons between today and stagflation economy of the 1970s, when oil prices brought higher inflation and lower economic growth?
RD: Developed economies are a lot more energy efficient now... It's mostly transportation that's affected; it affects direct consumers rather than industries. In real dollars, we're still below where we were in the '80s. We still have a way to go there... There's a much smaller effect on the global economy than before.
Demand grew by 2.5% in the U.S. in 2004 (2% in 2003) despite higher prices. The main reason is people shifting habits, the growth of exurbs, cars have gotten a lot bigger, people drive longer distances in less fuel-efficient cars. There's not much you can do in the short term. People are not moving into cities. That's why there's higher demand.
