@Julien Energy independence makes perfect sense (<----see correct spelling). We still need "fossil" fuels. I can't see a reason to pay Putin or Iran, or Venezuela to import it when we have cleaner product under our feet. The benefits are many.

A dependable source of energy where we don't have to rely on countries who hate us.

Grow up kid.
