In all seriousness, if today, we stopped all imports of middle eastern oil, tomorrow (or shortly thereafter) would be TEOTWAWKI.
Most people do not realize it, but thanks to Texan George Mitchell, we are #1 in nat gas producting and reserves. This happened within the last 5 years. Mitchell’s horizontal drilling technolgy was the key.
I would bet we have 5 times the Saudi’s oil reserves just in Nat Gas on “federal land.” The states need to take the land back from the Feds.
We would almost immediately be able to be self-sufficient on our fossil fuels - and the electrical/fuel cell car movement would explode.
It would take decades for us to complete the switch-over from gasoline powered cars/trucks/boats to electrical. We are pretty embedded in this.
But, where this will most likely be felt is in our utility bills. Heating and cooling bills should drop like a rock!! With more and readily available energy - technology should skyrocket. Imagine, your heating/cooling bill is ~$10-30/month to service your 5,000 sq ft home in Arizona.
