About 20 times what it is now.
That would be allot more than ouch, more like a hemotoma.
The US could never be self sufficient in a billion years. You are too suburban, too wasteful. I live in the heart of the city, i take the subway to work, drive a car, not an SUV or pickup truck.
Most americans would balk at the very idea.

We aren't burning Canadian gas - I live in a little town that has the largest natural gas field in the world named after it. We are just like you - we export all of our gas to NYC too. They buy it there for about a third of what we pay for it here because ours isn't federally regulated because it is intrastate commerce. Our power plant is owned by the city and the rate we pay is about three time that of neighboring communities - I have a large walk-in beer cooler with 18 display doors and it takes a lot of electricity to keep the beer cold.
