2/3 of our daily consumption of crude/products is
imported from somebody ~13.5 mbpd .. How are you
going to fix/change that ?? We can't "drill" our
way out ..


That's closer to half our daily consumption, not 2/3. If we brought 4 or 5 million bpd online, which we absolutely could do with existing technologies, not the sci fi Obama prefers, it would make a big difference to our local market and the world market.

We can drill our way out. We can drill AND conserve AND develop alternate fuels (that make sense, not corn to ethanol) and put the world market back into surplus.It's not full energy independence or it's useless. Stop this strawman argument.
