BEST case scenario is that Alaska can give us 18 months of oil, and there's only a 5% chance of that. It most likely will be less.
We're addicted to foreign oil, it's just the way it is till either we or the gov't make changes.
We're not going to solve problems at home by drilling more holes in the ground, the oil in quantities we need just isn't there.
Articles like this would more weigh if they were based in reality. If we abandoned all foreign oil right now this country would literally come to a halt.
