Daily Show: An Energy-Independent Future

Every President since Nixon has promised an energy-independent future, most predicting a date when such a thing would take place.  Those predictions are just about exactly as good as doomsday predictions. Energy independence a nebulous notion, at least as long as we are dependent upon fossil fuels.  Without something concrete to replace oil and coal, we're stuck with them. With oil--despite the "drill, baby, drill" cries, all oil goes on the international market. In order to still use oil, we'd have to radically alter the oil market to keep what we drill. Which renders that whole mantra even more stupid than it sounds at first blush.

All of this is better handled through a comedic framework, and no one does it better than The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
