Even if you are right, you are wrong!
Even if we can be energy independent today, WHY do it that way? Those hydrocarbons can be better used than burning them up! Also, your logic would say that if the rest of the world is willing to use up their resources when prices are low, we should let them use theirs now, and save ours until prices are higher. PLUS we can do a better job of making sure that extraction won't have unintended consequences if we are patient!
Until you realize that the people who write those accursed REGULATIONS you hate so much are the CORPORATIONS and LOBBYISTS (for their own benefit), you will be a SUCKER for the GOP LIES. adornoe, if you are really concerned about reducing regulations and energy independence get on the bandwagon for low cost renewable energy and you will find that REGULATIONS will be reduced when lives are not threatened by irresponsible corporations.
