I don’t think in this world we can afford to be cut off from the rest of the world anymore,
But maybe I’m mistaken. If we chose to be could we not be energy independent? Seems like much of the reason we’re not is simply because of rules and regulations we placed on ourselves.
We're relatively energy independent compared to a lot of the rest of the world. But a lot of oil and gas is of course sold on the global market and the petrochemicals used in plastics, furniture, clothing, cosmetics and electronics will be getting more expensive too.
Might not be a bad idea for us to keep building out our own energy infrastructure since what's already been destroyed in the Middle East will take years to rebuild. And some of that might not even happen if the current Iranian regime survives. Too easy for Iran to do it again.
