You might want to go re-read the both the constituion and some of the current laws. And then consider that congress is made up of politicans, who won't limit their own power. If there was a legal way for them to get more and more power for themselves, they'd do it, so your ideas fail to take into account reality. And I do not mean that as an insult, it's an idealist thing, and respectable for that.

Additionally, how you propose going full-bore on energy independence would both be wasteful and impratical as proposed here.
