And exactly how does exporting our oil so the oil companies can make more money make us energy independent?

Energy independent means we won’t have to rely on other countries for importing their oil. Other countries that not only don’t like us, but leave a much larger carbon footprint than we do. Which is what many of you are concerned about, as am I.
If you’re worried about the carbon footprint by oil and gas companies, then we should look at the entire world, not just the U.S.
