how come this isnt a bigger priority?

i think it is the most serious issue we will face in my generation.

we are quickly draining away finite resources (kind of like my bank account).  what's worse is that we are f'ing up the planet, both environmentally and geopolitically, as we are abusing these resources.

I agree 100%, Mitty. This will be the most pressing concern in our country over the next 50 years (along with health care). We clearly need alternative energy if our country is expected to prosper over the next 100 years. If not, there will be disaster.

Democrats will make energy independence a top priority starting with the 2006 elections. Every Democratic candidate in 2008 will make it a top issue. If a Democrat is elected, you will clearly see progress being made in the future.

I hate to mention our current president, but JFern is correct. If people really cared about energy independence, the stupidest thing they possibly could have done was re-elect Bush/Cheney. These guys have given the oil companies everything they wanted and have set back the quest for alternative energy many years.

but this is bigger than just a government problem.

i really dont know if it matters who is in the white house. 

I couldn't disagree more. A president who makes it a top priority and shows true leadership would do wonders towards changing the conventional thinking in this country.
