Well, Lane, here's my take. From my perspective, I think the issue IS oil independence and that global warming is a nice fringe benefit of tackling that one issue. I think we should be good stewards of the Earth and I do believe in man-made global warming, but I'm unsure as to the urgency. I'm more concerned about the immediacy of our oil dependency and the ill effects on our economy and national security. Happily, this is one of those win-win-win. Oil independence means taking away the possibility of oil shocks to the economy, taking away funding from terrorists, and polluting less. It's a trifecta and a no-brainer. The only ones against it are the GOP, who are bought and paid for by the oil companies. If you don't believe me, you should spend more time on the Politics of Energy thread. It's where the GOP die hards live and they are very much against anything that would get in the way of oil profits.
