Shoot, we can be energy independent tomorrow if we wanted. We have more oil than the middle east. We have so many potential sources of energy, we wouldn't know were to start. I agree with that made in China crap. I try to avoid as much as I can.
We are the only ones to blame for everything made in China. Started in the 70s and 80s when we still had a choice. We used to have the same products side by side. Made in USA was more expensive and we chose the China shit. Little my little we lost our manufacturing.
