I thought the theme for the night was Energy independence begins at home. We should be looking for ways to develop small, local energy production, not looking for outside companies to come in, generate energy using our resources, and then ship the energy (and the profits) elsewhere. Easier said than done, of course (unless you're Preston Boop).
