Sadly the environment cannot be our only concern.

If we were energy independent we would not be in Iraq, for example. In fact, if we developed a new energy source, we would render places like the middle east irrelevant.

We need to find energy independence by any means possible, while doing everything possible to protect the environment.

At the same time we need to search for (or create) a new type of energy. One that is a)non-toxic and b) cost efficient.

Both Democrats and Republicans claim to want to get the US off Middle Eastern oil, but they know doing so will cause more economic damage. Too many people, in politics and out of politics (as if such a bifurcation exists) make too much money through the oil cocaine that they will not let the interests of the American people get in the way. This happens in a corporate, captured state.
