Fossil fuels accounted for 80 percent of both energy consumption and production in 2019.

FACT!!! The United States Was Energy Independent in 2019 for the First Time Since 1957

FACT!!!....the US is still Energy Independent, even more so than in 2019...

U.S. Energy Independence Soars To Highest Level In Over 70 Years

Newly released data from the Energy Information Administration provides a clear picture of U.S. energy independence in 2022.

www.forbes.com

Last month the EIA released data showing energy production and consumption numbers for all of 2022. You can see all the data here. In 2022, U.S. net energy exports grew to 5.94 quads, which is the highest number on record. Total U.S. energy production was also the highest on record. Overall, the U.S. produced 2.5% more energy in 2022 than we consumed. By comparison, in 2005 the U.S. consumed 44% more energy than we produced.

In conclusion, 2022 marked the highest level of US energy independence since before 1950. This milestone was achieved through a combination of factors, including the shale boom which led to a steady decline in net energy imports, rather than being solely attributed to any specific presidential administration.

FACT: From the US Government! U.S. energy facts - imports and exports - U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA)
The United States became a net total energy exporter in 2019 for the first time since 1952 and maintained that position in 2020 and 2021.
NOW DUMMY!!!! HERE is where you ignorance is shown!!!
U.S. total energy exports (Dummy! this is total energy was exported).....exceeded (for simpletons like you.. "MORE" total energy imports by about 3.82 quadrillion British thermal units (quads) in 2021, the largest margin on record. U.S. total energy exports equaled about 25.25 quads, an increase of about 7.6% from 2020, and total energy imports were about 21.43 quads, an increase of about 7.2% from 2020.
I colored them so you simpletons could understand GREEN US exported MORE energy than the USA Imported energy!

Well not really, not all oil is the same. Some oil is better for making gasoline than others.

That aside, there are two ways to look at the term energy independence. The first, which seems to be yours, is that there are ZERO imports. The second is that we produce more than we consume. The former will never happen and the latter is happening now.

The US uses about 20 million bpd. We produce between 10 and 12 million bpd. The bulk of what we import comes from Canada, Mexico and Venezuela...except after trump's sanctions against Vz we imported a lot from Russia.
