Inanities of 'Energy Independence'

Why do so many people lack the ability to recognize common sense? Mr. Stossel is absolutely correct. To think that the U.S. can supply itself with enough energy to run the country without oil is ridiculous, a pipe dream. Every other country in the world is out there drilling for oil or nuke plants, or coal use. Not America, nooo,we are to busy enjoying the windmill, pipe dream. We used to be known as the "can-do" society, now we are the can't do society.
