I certainly hope you're being facetious
Sustainable energy independence would require massive cuts in consumption
Not if you develop sources of energy to meet the need
At a 1:1 ratio? Not gonna happen.
unprecidented drilling and development of hydrocarbon resources,
Drilling for what?
For the benefit of the nation, and our descentdents, the best plan would be the elimination of the burning of hydrocarbons over the next decade.

Hydrocarbon resources. Is there an echo in here?

Drilling for non-sustainable resources = sustainable energy how?
Does anyone have any real plans or ideas?

I plan on installing a rain cystine.. Here is what it is:
It is basically a 'round the perimeter of the house gutter system that catches rain, and then pipes it to a barrel. From the barrel, the water can then be pumped to the yard's sprinkler system, or even the toilets, as a way of "Reusing" water. You can get a considerable amount of extra water by using a rain cystine.
I also intend to get a wind turbine the next time I own a house. Will explain this briefly to anyone who doesn't know much about turbines..
The wind spins the fins (situated on a pole), and the fins turn the generator, which then creates power that can be routed into your home.
Copper coil
I have considered doing the underground copper coil, if I ever decided to live in an area that was further from the ocean, where a copper coil could actually be buried. All that happens is a large copper coil is buried underground, and energy from the Earth is transferred through the coil and into your home.
I think that if people just found ways of making long term investments (well a copper coil is not very long term, and neither is a rain cystine, but anyways) just making investments into creating their own energy, that is natural and sustainable- then we will eventually live in a world that does not emit nearly as much Carbon Dioxide as we do now, and will most likely have a way of life that is not in danger of going broke or anything, or out of gas, etc.. Sometimes even the simplest changes can make a HUGE difference, I think..
Setarcos- I didn't know you were an eco freak like me, lol!! =) I am glad to see we at least have something in common..
sustainable energy, these are proven sustainable enegy sources
Nuclear
Oil
Coal
Natural gas
Energy independence is dumb and will solve nothing.
Apparently we want to stop giving money to people who hate us. But if Saudi Arabia were suddenly cut off from oil money for example, their pro-US government would collapse. Fundamentalists would take over.
Some liberals (not all) would have us believe that terrorism is fueled by poverty, but then they want to impoverish oil-rich countries by not buying their products. What? Sort of like how conservatives think they hate us for our freedom and democracy...and then want to solve the problem by shoving freedom and democracy up their asses. Wait, what?
