Making sense when it comes to energy

I know Washington or American politics doesn’t make sense very much but I think I found a way to make everyone happy about energy independence and ending the oil dependence. It would be great if we had a president who actually had a brain and looked out for everyone. Now here’s my idea and tell me if I’m wrong. It would be great if we had a president that actually came out with I want to be as energy independent as possible while we can start exporting more oil while striving for a solution for cutting the consumption of oil. Using the power of the free market and deregulating the industry of alternative energy technology. Allowing for rapid growth and exportation. It is just what would work best for everyone.

We need SUSTAINABLE energy. And its not about the bloody PRESIDENT for christs sakes. Its at the center of our whole filthy political land economic policy and anyone who knows anything about WW2 knows that oil was always abuot world domination and not "energy". and also...

@Elevatorpitches I will agree that the lack of accountability in government needs to be addressed and how the political leaders allowed the oil industry to control what should have been an independent market of the alternative and environmentally responsible and friendly options seriously lag behind.

@Ozuye502 I can't deal with how Truman decided that Iran would never have nationalized oil in their own country. Yup.

He was a good guy too. Everyone thought he was "following" Roosevelt's policies. I heard something similar the night of Nov 22 1963.

Johnson would do something. And I tuned out therever after. And tried to learn the truth, still working at it.
