As I debate with little background, I would like to know how long would it take for us to become singularly sufficient to meet our oil needs if we drilled as much as possible for oil in US soil and waters, and if we concurrently expanded our pipelines to accommodate this while also increasing the capacity of refineries. This still realizing we could make up for future expanding needs with the immediate development of nuclear and other alternative sources of energy. All I hear from my opponents is that it would take tooooo long - maybe ten years. (That's not so long is it?) Your help for me as I debate with my friends and public servants would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Woody Middleton, AIA I am a newcomer to the issues of oil independence.
