The US is now energy independent, since we produce as much oil (and much more natural gas) as we consume.

The fact that supply chain efficiencies make exportation in certain areas and importation in other areas does not change things.

Is it US consumption of 20 million bbl per day the data you disagree with, or is it production of 12.4 million bbl per day?

The raw data belies these assertions.

In fact the 12.4 mil (projected for 2019) production is a record output for the US.

And the consumption number have been essentially steady since 2000.
