Imagine if the US could not support it's need for energy (electric/gas/oil) in order to survive. If there is no US renewable source of energy there's no heat, no machines to run water plants, food becomes scarce, no way to "process" everything without energy, no way to transport food. Our entire infastructure is dependent upon energy. If we have don't have that energy then the US becomes dependent upon whom for survival? Not sure who's behind the FF, but if we can't create, sustain and protect our own energy we're screwed.
