Myths of energy independence?

In today's WP article about the Myths of Energy Independence, Robert Bryce lists 5 myths. His arguments are as weak as can be, for example, when he is arguing about the big push to alternative fuels he can only think of automobiles and bio-fuels. There is much more alternative fuels are in play: solar, wind, wave, etc... And each one has a different flavor (ex: solar PVs and solar thermal, etc). And with the newer battery technologies that they can charged quicker and lasts longer will change the total automobile industry. I haven't included the automobile industries favorite hydrogen cells technology.
