What do you think of energy independence?

Let’s set aside Global Warming for a minute and focus on economics.

Would it not be beneficial for America to move its energy sources away from oil and other fossil fuels? We continue to purchase billions of dollars worth of oil from countries like Saudi Arabia (which provided most of the 9/11 attackers) while not investing in renewable resources that can be harvested here in the US and create domestic employment opportunities.

Should we invest time and energy in converting our energy system to renewable resources? I think that this is an issue that both conservatives and liberals can agree upon.

What is the difference between the electric and utility bill?

I’m having a little hard time understanding this. It says that 12% of the energy we used is contributed by lighting usage. But 28% of the electricity we used goes to lighting. When they say energy they were talking about AC and heating and such which I am not sure comes solely from electricity and therefore does not affect the electric bill (probably utilities instead?).
