American Energy Independence

American energy independence refers to the United States’ ability to meet its energy needs—such as oil, natural gas, and electricity—without relying heavily on imports from other countries. Achieving this means producing enough domestic energy through sources like shale oil, renewable resources, and traditional fossil fuels to ensure economic stability, energy security, and resilience against global market fluctuations. It involves developing sustainable and diverse energy infrastructure, reducing dependence on foreign energy, and supporting policies that promote local energy production while balancing environmental concerns.
