Is it true that without imports, the USA's domestic oil reserves would be exhausted in three years?

';Without imports, the USA's domestic oil reserves would be exhausted in three years at the current rate of consumption. The Oil War option is losing favor. Technological breakthroughs will be too slow and voluntary conservation will be too shallow to avert widespread disruption of economic activity, especially transportation and consequently food. Lacking the political will to make conscious, rapid, drastic changes, Americans will be subjected to Mother Nature's adjustments; She did not negotiate with the Mayor of New Orleans; nor will She negotiate the American Way of Life when Saudi Arabia's Ghawar field collapses of its own accord.';

Can anyone give credible sources about this topic? I don't know if this one is reliable.





If true this will difinately affect our politics as well as everything else.Is it true that without imports, the USA's domestic oil reserves would be exhausted in three years?
False. Over 30% of all oil used in the U.S. comes from the U.S..





Also, there is plenty of oil to last the U.S. for decades without importing a single drop. The problem is there are laws against drilling off of the coast of California and in many parts of the Gulf of Mexico where there are huge reserves of oil.Is it true that without imports, the USA's domestic oil reserves would be exhausted in three years?
All that is ,is scare tactics. That old dinosaur is the source of oil and peak oil are meant to scare kids and old folks.
The first answer is absolutely right. The problem isn't the quantity of oil available, it's the lack of options for drilling that keeps us dependent on foreign oil. If our government (in it's infinite wisdom) would stop bowing to environmentalist special interests we'd have access to more than enough oil to be independent.
I think it would be a clear message if you just said that we should appease the Middle East for oil.
Is that with or without the oil in ANWR that liberals won't let us drill for?
