And why do they only tout "energy" independence? More and more of the goods we consume are coming from foreign countries... our food, our clothes, our cars, our furniture, etc. Thanks to these enviro-whackos, manufacturers have fled the state, and the nation, in favor of foreign soil and cheap labor. Every day we become more dependent on foreign entities yet that is AOK with liberals like Clinton.
I don't mind that we buy consumer goods from foreign countries. That gives them healthy economies, and low prices for us. That doesn't make us dependent on foreign countries.
We can produce enough food to keep us with no problem - we might not have strawberries in Jan., but we won't go hungry.
We have plenty of clothes - most of us have crammed closets. And if you look at the labels, you will see a lot of different countries of origin.
The Japanese auto makers make a lot of cars here in the US.
The only area where we are not self-sufficient - and it's by choice - is oil.
