"With some tech innovation and some incentives/disincentives I imagine we could get down to using ~3 Billion barrels a year in 12 years." Only if we decide that is what we want to do. However, they are going to try to drill our way out first. Completely ignoring the fact that will make little difference in the price of gas.
