A rough guide to the intensity of the *dependency on others* for oil:
Europe:
6.1 barrels imported per year per person (bipypp)
~314% of own production (exc. Russia and Caucasus)
China:
2.8 bipypp
42.9% of own production
USA:
2.1 bipypp
2.4% of own production
Russia:
0.07 bipypp
0.3% of own production
Use this to sense check your politicians
