Scott Walker's plan to reduce dependence on foreign oil is to import more foreign oil

Genius plan from Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker:

Republicans in Congress should also enact a comprehensive energy policy that makes the United States less dependent on foreign oil—including approving the Keystone XL pipeline.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news for Gov. Walker, but the whole point of the Keystone XL pipeline is to import Canadian oil into the U.S. If Walker were really interested in the best thing for the country, he'd spend more time thinking about ways to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels altogether, and less time pushing a drill-baby-drill energy future. Oh, one other thing he might be interested in: Foreign oil imports are down by about 25 percent since President Obama took office.
