  • The United States is predicted to become a net energy exporter by 2020. This will be the first time since 1953 that the country exports more fossil fuels than it imports. For almost a century prior, the United States of America was the largest oil producer in the world. So how did the United States get hooked on foreign oil.
    Every American president since Richard Nixon has pledged energy independence as a way to strengthen us geopolitically, make us more secure, or boost our economy.
    The story of American oil begins in 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Small amounts of oil had seeped from the ground for a long time, but no one knew how to extract it. Until, Edwin Laurentin Drake, a former conductor, was hired. After many failed attempts, he finally struck gold -- black gold.
    The next FEW decades, major oil finds in Texas, California and Oklahoma contributed to U.S. emergence as a major economic power. The 1901 Spindletop gusher in Texas nearly tripled U.S. oil production.
    Henry Ford’s Model T invention in 1908 - the first mass-produced car - made America the most motorized country in the world. Other industrialized countries like France, Britain and Germany were ways behind.

Governments are simply a structured hierarchy system for legal and financial administration of populations. They are not self aware or capable of action as to be blamed for anything in reference in ways like 'The government'. People that temporary worked in positions of government are the individuals who decide and do what happens.
      The US has a much stronger system of law then those countries where individuals have much more ability to act and not be imprisoned in North Korea and Iran then they do in the US were it to ever be made public that deceptive and war crime like actions were being committed, things that you can't hide unless you think the heads of government in the US are personally flying out to these places and attacking oil tanker themselves so that those orders would be going through 100 people in the chain of command and for all of them to NEVER say anything about it. The US doesn't stage that crap and those countries, well Iran anyway has a militaristic fanatic Islamist government that despises western civilizations fundamental values as in how we live as society.

      Solar panels and, in particular, turbines are not clean to make. Multiply that by every household and thats one massive carbon footprint. Also, you would need batteries to make use of a lot of captured energy. Lithium reserves are not infinite and, again, are not clean to dig out the ground. It is progress however and technology is improving. I still want the US to re-endorse nuclear energy. Its the cleanest energy source known to man and the waste product is conveniently localized. Thorium reactors are needed.

You should also read up on recycling. Most of the battery is recyclable, and used turbine blades + cement is amazing.

There won't be 3nough after you're done and the carbon footprint is too large to really make sense as wind turbines and panels usually break or just stop working after about 20-40 years. The greatest source of energy when complete will be Fusion and there is no waste product but the second best that is available is Nuclear Fission Reactors. Sure they're not waste clean after producing the energy but as he said, Thorium reactors can significantly make a difference. We just need better Nuclear waste management.

The ironic part is that we allowed the rest of the world to deplete their resources and sell it for $50 a barrel so that when there reserves are gone in 20 years we’ll have all of our wells tapped and sell that oil to the third world for $200 a barrel. The entire time it was just a big scheme to get all of the OPEC nations to sell off all their oil for pennies. It’s funny too because we’ve had proxy wars in the Middle East so that they are forced to buy our US made weapons to fight wars that we instigated. They’re basically selling us oil just so they can buy weapons and fight each other. Until all of their oil is gone and all they have are a bunch of weapons to murder their neighboring countries with. By that time we’ll close the bases and leave and let them at each other.

    The US extracts and sells MORE barrels of oil per year than barrels of oil we import per year. Why are we not energy independent?
    We are exporting crude oil instead of refining all of US oil into gas for two reasons I believe. First, because the US refineries are built to refine the type of oil we import (sweet and sour) which is different than the type of oil we extract (sweet) from the US and export.
    Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t want oil companies are doing the same as if I owned a farm and market that could sustain my neighborhood, but I sell what I produce to another town and I purchase cheaper produce to sell at my market. My neighbors are still fed and I have a bigger profit margin.
