The Seven Myths of Energy Independence

Bookmark this article, it's a bit long for the middle of the work day but definitely worth reading. I guarantee you will disagree with about half of what you see and think the other half is "obviously" true.

Tough love from Mother Jones:

Myth #1
Energy Independence Is Good

Myth #2
Ethanol Will Set Us Free

Myth #3
Conservation Is a "Personal Virtue"

Myth #4
We Can Go It Alone

Myth #5
Some Geek in Silicon Valley Will Fix the Problem

Myth #6
Cut Demand and the Rest Will Follow

Myth #7
Once Bush Is Gone, Change Will Come
