Are you under the impression we could just close our borders and keep it?


The magic threshold of producing more oil than we consume is entirely symbolic. I guarantee you that if we were "energy independent" right now and keeping all of the oil we pumped for ourselves that gas prices would be WAY higher than they currently are. Producing 1% more than you consume vs 1% less than you consume is just a 2 percentage point difference, not some magic elixir.
