The BP PLC (NYSE ADR: BP) oil spill has been a wakeup call for energy-sector regulators.

But it's been an even bigger wakeup call for investors.

With the changes he's currently projecting, "a large measure of energy independence for the U.S. becomes possible. And I'm not just talking about a mere economic 'recovery' here.
