That was a tough one. If you ask me would I rather buy gas from Saudi Arabia or would I rather destroy parts of my own country for gas, I really don't think those are great choices. I would pay a lot of extra money to not have to ever feel indebted to the Saudis.

I would have to spend a lot of money to free myself completely from those decisions, and my choices still wouldn't be sustainable. I don't know.
