Energy independence in 6 easy steps.

#1. Drill
#2. Keep drilling.
#3. Oil-to-diesel plants in every coal producing state.
#4. Oil shale big-time.
#5. Nukes.
#6. More nukes.

Did I mention wind energy? No? If you want to build wind farms in your spare time, fine go for it. Solar, whatever, let a thousand blossoms bloom. But do those 6 and do them now, and we can replace mid-east oil in 5 years. Not 20, not 15, we can do it quicker than you might imagine. We just have to do it. It has to become a priority, and government has to get out of the way.

Good post. Is #3 supposed to be coal to diesel?

You have the right answers Marron. T. Boone can go jump in the lake with his windmills.

#7 Coal. Out of style, but it still works and there’s lots of it. (and - hint - It’s a lot cheaper than natural gas for electric production.
