I’m really not sure why so many Americans insist that we remain vulnerable to Arabs for our energy needs.

Exactly.

So-called "conservatives" say they value energy independence, but chafe at the possibility of developing a truly independent system.

They say they value individual liberty, but chafe at the possibility of putting power (literally) back in the hands of individuals rather than state-enforced and state-subsidized utility monopolies.

If you care about independence and individual liberty, it is logical that you would favor an energy system that matches your values.

If you say you value these things, but wretch at the thought of renewable energy, perhaps you've been victimized by the right-wing driven and fossil-fuel-funded propaganda machine.
