Not really since we currently get about 70% of our oil from Canada, Mexico and South America. And as BA mentioned, we have had over 30 years (since the last "oil crisis" to develop new energy sources but just haven't bothered to put much effort in to it. Also, there is no reason we can't tap some of our own wells off shore and in Alaska and do it SAFELY if we don't leave it to the lowest bidders to do the work.
