The random political thoughts thread (Part Deux)

I guess I don't see owning a hybrid as a form of energy independence. Still needs gas, though significantly less. I haven't run any numbers (nor would I really know how to in the instance), but while I'm sure if everyone owned a hybrid our need for oil would go down, it wouldn't make that huge of a dent in what we import. Energy independence means we don't import energy.
