Mike Huckabee embarrassed by US addiction to oil

So, what will he do about it?

"Every time we put our credit card in the gas pump, we're paying so that the Saudis get rich - filthy, obscenely rich, and that money then ends up going to funding madrassas," schools "that train the terrorists," said Huckabee. "America has allowed itself to become enslaved to Saudi oil. It's absurd. It's embarrassing."

Huckabee said "I would make the United States energy independent within 10 years and tell the Saudis they can keep their oil just like they can keep their sand, that we won't need either one of them."(more)

After reading this article, I checked out the Mike Huckabee for President site, and I was disappointed with that I found. Few details.

It just seems ridiculous for politicians to make such statements. Without an extremely bold government initiative to develop tens of millions of hybrid cars, especially plug-in hybrid vehicles, and electric vehicles, etc., or to develop the hydrogen economy, it will be almost almost impossible to achieve energy independence in 10 years.

Bold visions require bold plans. Without a more detailed plan it just seems Huckabee is engaging in bold blah, blah, blah.
