Do you think the United States should negotiate with OPEC, send in the military to deal with the terrorist threat, look for ways to reduce our dependence on oil or drill in areas that have been protected by the federal government? Why?

look for ways to reduce our dependence on oil

Explanation:

However, the OPEC can still represent a geopolitical adversary or threat, and for this reason, energy self-sufficiency should be used to look for ways to phase out oil for other energy sources, like nuclear, geothermal, or solar.
