Transcript

SENATOR LUGAR: Now whether or not one classifies America's oil dependence as an addiction, the bottom line is that with less than 5 percent of the world's population, the United States consumes 25 percent of its oil. If oil prices remain at $60 a barrel throughout 2006, we will spend, that is, the United States, about 4320 billion on oil imports this year.
