Energy independence? You don’t want independence; you just want more, like everyone else. If you look at a satellite view, you see a country lit up like it is on fire. If you walk into most homes you can hear the furnace fire up, the lights are on, the stove, refrigerator etc is humming away; computers, game sets, TVs, and stereos are blaring at you. That is the standard and in each case people are regularly increasing the capacity to use more energy. If there were some goal for a sustainable society it would be one thing but there isn’t. The natural load bearing carrying capacity was passed centuries ago. If you want to talk about delusions fine but start by defining what exists and what is realistically achievable, and why achieving any such thing is a worthy endeavor. Maybe you could start by questioning your own assumptions and expanding those horizons. Independence is one of those archaic words that no longer have any application. We are an interdependent global society and will continute to be so for the duration.
