“NICE! Get off the middle eastern muzzie oil teat...”
It may help do that, but only indirectly.
Most of the power generation is done by something other than oil. Oil is used primarily for gasoline, and also plastics and other manufactured products.
Unless we can harness the existing coal we are using to power our cars this won’t reduce the dependence on foreign oil.
But solar is still a great idea for the long run and hopefully will prove economically viable.
That would be the icing on the cake. The cake part is being able to keep the household running at some capacity in the event of a major power outage. We really want to do solar on our rural house (yet to be built) but we’ve been pondering it for our current home in NVA.

As the recent problems and discoveries have proven, the muzzie oil teat, is a far less offensive problem, than being on the Chinese food teat. Additionally, the directions taken or not taken by the US government, indicate we won’t soon be off either teat any time soon.
The blatantly stupid burning of our food supply in the vain hope that there are viable alternatives at this time, for the use of crude oil and its various cracked products, is beyond belief. The world wide rise in food prices because of this idiocy, should have been expected.
Oil is the product, drilling is the means, refining yields the products that every engine needs. Get on with reality and suspend the stupidity. The more we drill the better life will be, and might even cause the price of oil to come down, because the more there is the lower the price, per economic rules.
Doubling the price and then taxing the users on top of the price per KWH sounds like a good idea to you?
