Obama has begun a dramatic reversal in Western land-use policy that already has had a major impact in Arizona. In a sharp departure from the Bush administration, the Obama team has halted new uranium-mining claims near the Grand Canyon, proposed new preserves for wild mustangs and funded the expansion of the Petrified Forest National Park.

So much for energy independence.

How does depletion of non-renewal resources result in energy independence?
That sort of reasoning would have the passengers on the Titanic burning the lifeboats to keep the engines running or cutting down sequoias for firewood.

There will come a point where oil will be seen as too valuable for use as a fuel.
