Yeah, we can do hard stuff, too, and maybe we should start doing the hard stuff here.
We spent decades having to deal with other countries and our oil policies, and it's been a nightmare of wars, embargoes, etc. Now that we can go down a completely different energy path, why shouldn't we keep it inhouse? We need to work with other nations, but we don't have to voluntarily line up to be totally economically enslaved to another country for the NEXT wave of energy.
