the problem is that the government would be allying with Alqaeda, which supposedly are enemies¡
Answer
I think you're absolutely right - this war started in the 1970's when the Arab Oil Embargo crippled the US economy and the economy of the world.
Jimmy Carter established the Department of Energy, and vowed to support green energy, the big three car companies vowed to create smaller, more fuel efficient cars, we vowed to reduce or eliminate our dependence on foreign oil. So what happened?
Well, for one thing, "Station Wagons" as family vehicles died a slow death, in an example of the way we do things in America. Because they were classified as "cars", they had to meet strict car standards, which they could not do. The American consumer still needed a large vehicle to transport kids and stuff - so the SUV was born. Built on a truck body, it didn't have to meet the same standards. The result? More ridiculous government regulations, and more gas consumption.
This is just an example - the point is that our regulations have done nothing, our taxes have done nothing - for 40 years our consumption has increased. We are MORE, not LESS, dependent on Persian Gulf oil:

We need the oil - it is the lifeblood of our economy. Everything we do, make, use - is dependent on oil. When the cost of crude goes up, it has a domino effect on everything we do in our lives.

It's not impossible, but it will take a long time and a lot of resolve to free ourselves from dependence on it.
So for years, every hint of political unrest in the Middle East has caused the price of oil to spike. Oil is a global commodity, based on global supply and demand. 30% of the oil the world uses comes from that region - and if you add to that the 13% that Russia produces (they are negotiating an economic alliance with Saudi Arabia over this Syrian situation) you are talking about nearly half the oil in the world controlled by enemies of the US.
Our oil production represents less than 10% of the world consumption, at 8 million barrels per day. Our own Department of the Interior estimates that there are 3.5 billion barrels of accessible crude in ANWR,

The US Geological survey estimates that the Bakken and Three Forks formations could yield 7 billion barrels of oil and 6.4 trillion cubic feet of natural gas

We have enough oil in our country to exceed the production of the Middle East - and to undermine ALL of the political and economic clout they have over the world, but we choose war instead.
We have CHOSEN this life of war.. The new cold war is NOT about nukes, as it was in the 1960's, but is about the economic control over the lifeblood of the world's economies - which at this point is balanced between the control that the Middle East and Russia already have over it, and the hollow threat of US military intervention.
The increased production in this country would more than fund all the research and development into green energy that we want - it would be the most effective means to its own end - but we'd rather just go to war.
EDIT - Interesting that this answer would get three thumbs down. For you who rated this answer - here's a challenge for you - STOP using oil. Try to reduce your consumption by 50%. By 20%. Here are some products you need to stop using right away:

Don't have a hybrid or an electric car? Buy one. Can't afford it? Ride a bike and save your money until you can. Got solar panels on your house? Install them. Can't afford them? Join the crowd. If you are going to complain about our government seriously addressing our need for oil by trying to control the world market, you HAVE to have an alternative - which is either discontinuing your own use of the stuff, convincing everyone you know to do the same - or to realize that we need to replace what will quickly be taken from us if we just discontinue the wars.
All I'm saying is that we've had 43 years since the last crisis, and we have not done anything. We have three choices - increase production, decrease use, or shed blood. So far we have only done the latter, and let the former get embroiled in political lip service.

duel sport motorcycles for 6ft man?
bucker

Answer
Honda a few years ago made a CRF 230L. The thing got 90mpg! Weight 260lbs and came in black.
The new one: Honda CRF 250L weighs in at a porky 320 and gets less mpg.
http://powersports.honda.com/dual-sport/2013/crf250l.aspx
Suzuki makes the DR 200 SE. It weighs in at 278lbs, but it has electric start. They also make a 400cc version.
http://www.suzukicycles.com/Product%20Lines/Cycles/Products/DR200SE/2013/DR200SE.aspx#Specs
Yamaha makes the TW 200. It weighs in at 278 and gets 78mpg.
Kawasaki makes the KLX 250S. It weighs in at 297lbs, gets 70mpg and has electric start.

If you got cash, then look at the KTM 350 EXC. This is a motocross bike with lights. It weighs 241lbs and has electric start.

The other motocross bike with lights is the Husqvarna TE 310R. It weights 247lbs and has electric start.

You got me by a few years. I know I am getting tired of kick starting a motorcycle, so you have to be really tired of it. That means you are going to have to go with the Suzuki or the Kawasaki. If you have the money, the KTM and Husqvarna are top of the line bikes. I got a 1982 Honda XL500R that I have to go through a starting ritual on or she won't fire up. It gets old real fast kick that beast over...lol
I would recommend going to the local dealerships and sitting on a bunch of different bikes. This way you can see what is out there and see what fits you best. Hell, I would look for an old late model 1970's 2-stroke enduro just to piss off the neighbors...lol You can find used bikes on Ebay, Craigslist, CycleTrader and BikeFinds.
You keep going old timer.
