“It was never a viable concept in the first place. There is no nation on this planet thats industrialized that is ‘energy independent’ and there never will be.
Its a fools errand talking point.”
If I remember, the day President Bush announced this last summer; that started oil prices falling from their highs.
No one ever said this would make us energy independent. We need to be drilling for every barrel available at current market prices.
Lower oil prices mean less dollars leaving our nation. Always a good thing.
No dispute here on that score.
