Energy Independence From The USA Is Coming For Much Of The World - CleanTechnica

The article from CleanTechnica discusses the evolving concept of energy independence, particularly in relation to the United States and the global reliance on oil. While energy independence in the U.S. is often narrowly defined as producing enough oil domestically to meet its own needs, this perspective overlooks the complexities of oil markets and the broader global desire to reduce dependence on U.S. oil and other petrostate-controlled resources.
