After having almost another $100 dollar fill-up I firmly have come to believe that the US government screwed the pooch in regards to its energy policy. So my question is- Is it actually possible to have a successful Project Independence? If you’ve never heard of it Project Independence was an initiative by Nixon to move the country to energy independence in the wake of the Oil Embargo and while it did result in some minor changes ultimately it fell flat on its face in regards to it state goal exemplified by gas being ten times more expensive today. Beyond whether or not its technically and practically feasible what would have to happen to keep both political parties committed to moving the project forward. And lastly what would be the likely ramifications today beyond me not cringing every time I pull into the gas station?
