you'll notice that they were dramatically dropping until Fracking Technology gave us a boost in the early 2000's...but that's now peaking and there isn't a clear backup plan to give us more than the 5-10 years, without oil imports. The U.S. currently has slightly less than 50 Bbls of Proven Oil Reserves...and we consume slightly more than 7 Bbls/yr...
If you care at all about your kids and grandkids, you need to look hard at these independent facts based on Oil Industry data. Then come up with a solid plan that ensures reliable Heat, Power is available...along with Hydrocarbons for tires, plastics, fertilizers, medical equipment, etc., etc., etc.,...
This is real life...not a meaningless discussion topic...so treat it accordingly...and vote accordingly.
