It is never good when fear is a main driver in peoples support.

If anyone is using fear to garner support, it is because the climatologists, geomorphologists, geologists, and climatologists have been raising the warming flag for nigh 30 years now. Seems no one wanted to listen. Kinda like Hubbard's curve and peak oil. Apparently, the American public can only be roused to do something if it is in danger of causing them some kind of personal inconvenience.
Again, I forward the question--what is the downside of getting off foreign oil? I've seen estimates of what a gallon of gas actually costs the American public when all of its costs are factored in. These costs include the cost of recovering the oil, shipping it, and refining of course, but also the costs of the military bases established in the middle east to ensure that the oil keeps flowing and the subsidies given to the oil companies. If we actually paid at the pump what it cost, we would be paying over 15.00 a gallon for gas.
