This is inline with climate goals how..?
The US is almost at parity in oil consumption and production. This mean lesser need for oil to be transported from around the world for US consumption. That is a good thing.
"Thing global, buy local".
It's now at 11.6 million. A gain of roughly six million barrels per day.
US crude oil exports will average around two million barrels per day for 2018.
Net difference for 2018 is at about four million barrels per day, of less oil imported versus ~2011 and prior. We're importing a lot less oil than a decade ago, while we're simultaneously at a tipping point where oil consumption is about to begin declining (previously we had already dramatically expanded our economy while using far less oil per inflation adjusted dollar of GDP output; next we'll press downward on actual oil consumption). The US isn't using much more oil than what it was in 1978 approximately (most of the growth is population growth based). The per capita use has declined considerably and is back to about where it was 50 years ago.
I don't love that we're doing this either, but I like Russia and SA not having money to fuel their escapades.
We could also invest in green energy to the point where the means of capture and storage are isolated to our borders, though I'm doubtful that we can do the same for the manufacture of the products that get us there (batteries, solar panels).
CO₂ is one issue; but pollution of aquifers seems to be overlooked until it will be too late, contaminating many fresh water supplies.
We need radical change, and we need it today, if we want our children to avoid an unprecedented catastrophe. There is currently no political will to make such a change.

We can agree on that, at least. Maybe if you work on the rest of your message it might become more sensible to the average voter?
