Basically, the debate comes to one thing. How can we achieve energy independence and what is our blue print to get there. If you notice, the politicians on TV outraged and screaming the loudest either live in coal or oil producing states or have ties to the oil lobby. If we can get past the right and left politics for a moment, this really comes down to entrenched special interests and lobbyists fighting to maintain the status quo to keep their share of the pie. They have no interest in seeing the Solyndra's of the world take off and shape our energy future.
