| Lugar on Energy: ‘Oil Dependence is Dangerously Unsustainable’ |
|
 “Our oil dependence is dangerously unsustainable,” thundered U.S. Sen. Richard Lugar to 1,000 executives, scientists, academicians and politicians packed into Purdue University’s Loeb Playhouse on Aug. 29.
Keynoting at an all-star conference bearing his name – the Richard G. Lugar-Purdue University Summit on Energy Security – the Hoosier senior senator took just about everyone to task for America’s current dependence on liquid fossilized remains from the Triassic period.
In his opening remarks, Lugar tore into oil companies and American automakers with these harsh words: “Neither American oil companies nor American car companies have shown an inclination to dramatically transform their businesses in ways that will achieve the degree of change we need to address a national security emergency.”
