"independence" means we don't have to buy energy from the outside. Send money to someone, so they give us Energy. It is super important. Think of it like this.

"independence" means we don't have to buy energy from the outside. Send money to someone, so they give us Energy. It is super important. Think of it like this. How many oil producers do we have a problem with? That are dictators, at war, or generally bad. Every time we buy gas, we give them money. We send trillions of dollars to our enemies. It is such an overwhelming National Security issue, that I'm frankly surprised Republicans fought renewable energy for so long. Oil isn't going to last forever. We should have been throwing resources at our own internal energy R&D. .
