Yes but it'll be expensive and you'll have to make 'different' political compromises.

Not if we push alternatives, which are just starting to come onto the market.
I would hope that within my lifetime, oil, regardless of which nation it comes from, becomes a worthless liquid...
Not at today's living standards. But at different living standards: not only yes it is possible, but yes it will be required. Essentially, energy efficiency is needed to live without imported oil and that will require a change in living standards. That is... change on a scale not yet seen in most of our lifetimes. However efficiency is not enough. Having other sources of energy to replace the remainder of imported oil will also require change...political change, again, on a scale not yet seen in most of our lifetimes. So the short of the answer is yes, at a cost; and the cost is change (social and political) on a scale not yet seen in most of our lifetimes.

Not at the moment...not ever even (I guess) because no-one is willing to live without oil in general. And the most oil out there is Arab oil.

Good day Salim,
Taking another approach to your question: can we live without oil?
Independent of the point of origin - this is one of the most pressing (contemporary) issues the world over.

We can not live without Arab Oil.
If U.S. government is willing to change the green industries, we might live without Arab oil.
Now, we have to depend on Arab oil.
If U.S. can not consume the Arab oil, U.S. might lose their influences in Middle East [Western Asia]
What I mean that U.S. might lose some friends in that region.
Using the Arab Oil, U.S. saves a lot of money.
Yes, we can, however, it would be costly for consumers if the U. S. doesn't increase its imports of crude from other countries or until people use other means of transportation.
Links:
Not 100% possible right now, but within a few years, for example in Europe, we can have consumption distributed in some major cities/countries as 10-15% Biofuels and 90-85% Oil.
Currently I think it´s around 3-5%
Perhaps within 20-30 years the "non-oil" consumption could rise up to 40%.....?
