What I want in a candidate, is someone who will do for energy

would stand up and promise to bring us energy independence from OPEC
in, say 10/20 years,

I browsed Huckabee's website to learn more about him, and he does you
one better; he promises energy independence in less than 8 years ("by
the end of the second term").

and show a comprehesive plan by which this could
be accomplished,

Ah, now that's the sticky part :-)

Impossible, in my opinion, unless you can convince our country to
return to a one car per family model, and driving that car maybe 5000
miles per year. Anything less, and the numbers simply don't add up.
Not even close -- at least an order of magnitude apart. No candidate
will be elected who's telling the voters that. So they sell pipe
dreams (biodiesel, hydrogen) and snake oil (ethanol).

Jon.
