Yes, we can supply all our energy needs

It is foolish now for anyone to argue that the United States does not have enough energy to meet all its needs. In addition to enormous amounts of natural gas, oil exists in shale and other formations and already the percent of our petroleum being imported has declined. 

Until oil production is sufficiently  increased in the coming decade, we will continue to import oil.  However, we can pay for that oil by exporting liquified petroleum gas.  A facility in South Louisiana once used for importing liquified gas can be converted for exporting.  At present much natural gas is being wasted.

While  national unemployment remains above nine per cent Louisiana has a much lower rate of 6.9.  Much of our success is owed to the oil and gas industry.
