It is a novel time in American history where something that would be a competitive and strategic advantage (foreign energy independence) is levied with huge taxes. I remember Bush's gaff about silicon chips versus potato chips. The implication was that high-tech gadgets and bulk domestic agricultural products had equal potential to build the American economy. Maybe the Saudi and Russian friends of our SCROTUS don't truck with all that independence!
