>> But i agree--energy independence is not a red blue issue anymore except perhaps for IODE> Why would you attack me again? I have been a believer that we needed to become energy independent since I had to sit in gas lines during the Carter administration. And I have long believed that we would achieve it when gas prices got high enough that it posed an inconvenience for the American people. We're there, it does, and energy independence is a stone's throw from here. There is greater hope today for energy independence than at any time in the past. Over the next five years the markets will be flooded with hybrids and all-electric vehicles. It certainly isn't a red-blue issue. It is, however, a national security issue.

keep in mind price of fuel is capped in india and china i believe so folks are being encourage to drive, buy cars etc. The fact that the USA has had a free ride all these years re: fuel is not a reason that emerging nations should do the same. We were wasteful in a time of surplus. Now we are in time of shortage. If americans are conserving while emergings are not, it may satisfy some sense of fairness over time for liberals but it does not solve the problem the world now has. My first goal is to get the US energy independent. After that, we can deal with the world.
