Being dependent on foreign oil from overseas is not in the best interest of AmericaIn your own words that you said, " 4million barrels of oil a day peaking in 2019. " Yes, we are on the down side of production in the U.S., if we continued to over drill all those strategic resources would be gone long before the 2040 date when the world runs out of oil. We need to save some for future generations. Besides most everything that could be tracked already has been. We getting down to the really filthy tar sands and even processing them creates toxic enviorments, processing them creates widespread dead zones. This is why although Canada has those tar sands they will not process them up there because it's illegal and the only logical place to process them there was a Pacific Northwest and they have a pristine environment they want to keep it that way so they absolutely refused oil pipeline in their direction. The keystone Pipeline if allowed to continue would have further damage the entire Gulf Coast.
