Energy Independence Key to 2008 Presidential Race?

Tom Vilsack, the Democrat from Iowa, threw his hat into the race for the 2008 Presidential elections, and his platform is energy independence. Energy independence is the way to strengthen both National Security and the U.S. economy, according to Vilsack.

It's nice to see that energy independence appears to be gaining political importance, but let's hope it leads to real action and not just a lot of talk and pork-barrel legislation focused more on paying political favors than on results.
