Where were these threads when oil was under $30/barrel 5-7 years ago? Energy independence was as much off the government's agenda as it was off our minds.
The amount of oil consumed by the US as a percentage of the world, is large. 23%, I believe. Alternative energy helps us cut that percentage, but we also need to push the conservation side, as well. The ever-growing 3800 SF McMansions aren't the step in the right direction.
