Continued growth in oil and natural gas production, growth in the use of renewables, and the application of demand- side efficiencies show the potential to eliminate net US energy imports in the 2020 to 2030 timeframe, according to projections in the Annual Energy Outlook 2015 (AEO2015), released by the US Energy Information Administration. The US has been a net importer of energy since the 1950s.
How about that.... Through growth in domestic oil production, increased reliance on renewable energy (which only grows from here on out...), and energy efficiency, America is on track to eliminate dependence on imported petroleum by 2030.
The U.S. will not be bowing to the will of Middle East potentates, and there will be fewer legitimate reasons for American military interventions in that region.
Moving more to renewables will not kill the petroleum industry. There are so many uses for petroleum besides burning it for fuel.
