Energy independence is easy.
Build nuclear electrical power plants ( not popular with the loony left)
Drill in ANWAR (n not popular with the loony left)
Drill in the Gulf of Mexico ( NIMBY)

Nuclear does nothing for our oil needs.
ANWAR doesn't have that much oil and wouldn't even replace our Saudi imports.
Already drilling in Gulf of Mexico.
The answer is conservation and biofuels, preferably 2nd generation, aka BTL.
