America's Energy Independence

America's Energy Independence is quite simple, start drilling. The US Department of Energy estimates that with current technology, the US has 430 billion barrels of oil to be had, and with tomorrow's technology, that number climbs to over 1.2 trillion barrels of oil. This information can be found at the DOE websites http://www.fossil.energy.gov/ and http://www.fossil.energy.gov/. Our current fix on oil had us importing, per 2007 report, almost 522 million barrels of crude oil, per Energy Information Administration website http://tonto.eia.doe.gov/dnav/pet/hist/wceimus2w.htm. So doing the math, the US has enough oil for 824 years of imports at 2007 levels. Guessing that we import 60% of our oil, that would be 494 years of Oil Independence. Nancy Dumbass Pelosi thinks that drilling now will save us two cents in ten years. I think we need a new Speaker of the House, and one that has brains at that. Kick that SF Windbag back to SF.
