On another day, he might be whining about our trade deficit.
I understand fungible markets quite well. The whole point of this article was that producing our oil won't make us energy independent because of our commitment to keeping international oil markets fungible.
We could tariff or ban exports of petroleum products and American produced oil would only be fungible within our borders. But we don't have the will to do that, for that would be disturbing our "Free trade" mantra.

On the other hand having your oil supply (and other critical resources) close at hand is vital in the case of a war. I don’t see us ever being energy independent but I’d like to see our energy needs supplied from the new world.
