we're reminded of the threat of supply disruption again when hurricanes katrina and rita disrupted supplies and cost price spikes -- and caused price spikes here in our nation. these don't supply the u.s., but they do supply our allies and in a global oil market, these supplies are dependent. a disruption of european oil supplies would have effects on our economy. we also expend extraordinary resourcesources to maintain ours to foreign oil. it is important to the success of our economy. while estimates vary, according to a study produced by the national defense council foundation, they estimated that the direct and indirect security/military costs to securing our oil amount to about $825 billion. now, that equates to more than $5 a gallon on top of the price we pay at the pump. we cannot allow or nation's security and health of the american economy to rely on the whims of unreliable and hostile governments. if we refuse to address our single-grist point of vulnerability, we fail in our duty to protect this nation. so it's clear that we need to end this addiction. we need to be energy self-s
