The oil companies haven't shown any desire to achieve energy independence yet... why should they when they are raking in money hand over fist, bringing the economy to it's knees...
and spacey? What is bankrupting us now more than anything else, is bush's war in Iraq... almost a trillion dollars have been wasted there... for what? to kill a man who wasn't threatening us? that was pretty stupid if you ask me, and even if you didn't, I still think it was stupid to invade Iraq.
