Why didn’t we become more energy independent during the Bush presidencies?

There is no desire to become energy independent by the people we have elected. Too much money to be made and too much money to borrow if the resources remain in the ground and use them for collateral.

If America wanted energy independence or rather if the leaders of America wanted energy independence it would only be necessary to drill and mine those resources. Why not drill and mine? Is the revenue produced by leaving the resources in the ground important? Important to whom? Revenue for the government or revenue for the people is the question I see and the question constantly decided by not drilling and not mining by those in power.

I pray I am being clear concerning my position, and I did see where StolarStorm believes the EPA has nothing to do with this. How do we know the EPA is not working with those who produce by mining and drilling to not keep prices artificially high?

I have to state here, this is my opinion, and opinion have flaws, yet the flaws of no energy independence are easily overcome, if our nation has the will. The politicians and the EPA should be pushed to the side if America is to attain energy Independence, and lower energy costs ... imho

Throttle the US, so the Turd World can catch up, its the New World Order, doncha know.
