It seems to me that, at a minimum, and in very, very simple terms, we can reduce our usage, increase our production, work towards shifting to fuels we can produce, trade more with friendlier places so we are less beholden and vulnerable to unfriendly places, and try to do what we can to make the unfriendly places friendly or, if not friendly, then hobbled. Which is what I meant when I wrote that there is not significant opposition. It would be really hard to object to that, seems to me.

I really don't think that "energy independence" is used as strictly as you did by many people. I could be wrong. Like I wrote, I haven't paid a lot of attention to this.
