Energy Independence Isn't a Supply-Side Issue

IT MATTERS LITTLE WHERE ENERGY COMES FROM AS AMERICA WILL USE THE SAME AMOUNT NO MATTER THE SOURCE. the difference is where the money goes that its use generates. the use of corn for bio fuel has made the price of food rise because of this diversion of product, a barrel of oil from Iraq or the u.s. has the same proportionate value as does the wind power that replaces it or solar or other energy sources. what is important is who gets the money for supplying the energy, whether it stays in the u.s. or goes out of the country. politics has little to do with the market place, unless of course you are a democrat, then someone has to take the blame.
