I assume domestic ethanol production is more or less a fixed amount because law requires E10 fuel.

To be fair though, fracking and producing more oil than we consume would still not allow the US to be "energy independent". Our refineries aren't equipped for the oil we produce, so we have to sell it abroad and import the crude our refineries can process.
