Cafferty/Shell: "Energy Independence is going too Far

"I think energy independence is going too far." You know who said that? The president of one of the big oil companies, of course. John Hofmeister, who runs Shell, a division of Royal Dutch Shell, said in a TV interview that energy independence is the wrong goal for the U.S. He thinks it's good for international relations and for the economy to get our oil from all over the world.

If you buy local grown food and eventually switch to electric transportation (cars)  soon to be wide-spread available, your about as indipendant as intelligens and technology allows

[LastReplaySC]

you can start with the money now, get organized with local non-govt barter and currency systems!

Also a private joint venture for your own private shared wind-turbine and solar panels, is no problem, there is no one stopping you to sell the surplus power to the gird for profit, that could be considered as your pension

First energy independence, we can do it. Food and communication independence next. Maybe this is going too far, but I'd hope to see us printing our own money in my lifetime. Imagine an independent nation!

How about," Energy Independence: The Water Option."

This form of energy independence empowers the people and makes it virtually impossible for any one person to take out the power to a group of people let alone a city. One would have to go door too door to nock out the power to a city, and those people would have no more electric bills, and drive their cars with no gasoline comsuption at all. Now this is true energy independence, look up Genepax just for starters, but there are more.

We put the first man on the moon. For crying out loud if we got everyone behind it we can eliminate our need for oil in a decade or two. Through a combination of carbon fiber composite super-efficient light trucks and cars, advanced biofuels, and plug-in hybrids. The options are there people, and we have been so hard-headed up until now. Oil has been cheap for so long so we haven't had a care in the world about it. Now at $4 a gallon we need to get serious about this.

Doomers need not reply.

Daniel Dingle and Stanley Meyer have the answer to all of our problems. I wonder if he can get the FBI to give back the technology they took from Meyers car and home too We The People? One of us is bound to make it work, and after that free we all will be. Energy independance is a worthy goal, put the power companies out of buisness, and cut the oil use for only making plastics.
