I agree with just about everything said there. My view on alternative energy stems from energy independence, and the ability to increase individual savings in the U.S.
How is what was said ridiculous?

Libertarians are about maximizing independence. Part of being truly independent is being able to minimize ones reliance on others for survival and/or existence. It is plainly obvious why personal solar and wind energy is the answer to our energy reliance on foreign oil and fossil fuels, especially if the private market was allowed by law to invest in hemp for alternative fuel for vehicles, creating more jobs in the U.S., while reducing foreign dependence on oil, and again bringing more value to farming.

Not at all.
