Campaigns fail to focus on energy

I wonder why this is.
"Kerry promises "energy independence from the Middle East in 10 years," yet he has not detailed how he would bring about such a colossal shift in the way America gets its energy in such a short period of time."
See, but this sort of crap pisses me off: no detailed plan? Like, who wants to know? Yeah, he has a plan, a coherent plan, but "detailed"? Just what is that supposed to mean? Does it mean he doesn't have oil production figures for 2004-2012, MTBH reduction % for those years, average ethanol consumption, number solar plans that come on line by year?
Geez Louise!
