Oil is a guaranteed way of being energy independent

There is also nothing morally wrong with 100% fossil fuel use

Oil is incredibly practical

Like Germany?

Holy parsing out a statement in order to take everything out of context, Batman!

Here's the whole statement:

I'm saying zero fossil fuel use is NOT the only way to energy independence, but could conceivably lead there.

I'm also saying that there's nothing morally wrong with zero fossil fuel use, IT'S JUST NOT PRACTICAL.

Then I say that lessening dependence on one energy source, namely oil, could help lead to energy independence - to which you curiously replied, "You mean like Germany?" Which is odd because Germany has been in the process of becoming MORE dependent on fossil fuels since they began moving AWAY FROM nuclear power, and TOWARDS importing more fossil fuels from Russia since the Fukushima nuclear incident in 2011. Germany is literally doing the complete opposite of what I'm promoting ITT.
