Is True Energy Independence Attainable?

EasilyFoundMember

What is the expert thinking, if any exists, about what the USA would have to do, and how long it would take, to become as independent from foreign oil as possible. Assume fantasy land and we had a govt and private industry dedicated to achieving it. How much work would it take?

We'd have to criminalize membership in the Sierra Club. Then we'd get it done in less than a decade.

Sure, just power your house by putting the family to work peddling bikes that power a generator

Then you can ride the bike to work.
Problem solved.
