    So energy independence was a pipe dream until we had a massive boom in the production of a fossil fuel.

    And that is apparently “green energy.”

        You mean the document that starts off with “Expanding Refining Capacity,” “Domestic Production Of Oil From ANWR,” “Natural Gas Offers New Opportunities,” and “Make Clean Use Of Our Coal Supply?”

        The one that crows about $1.9 billion over 10 years for clean energy, but also mentions $52 billion in investment in coal?

        That document on “green energy?”

          Keep reading.

          This is literally Bush - Republican president - creating green energy incentives and promoting nuclear power.

          Energy independence movement absolutely included green energy, even if you are too blinded by the other stuff to see it.

            I had a professor who was intimately involved in the Texas wind farms built under this program. So yeah, renewable energy (I read an article on hydrogen sourcing the other day and colors confuse me now) was definitely part of it.
