On the Benefits of Local Oil Generation

The United States, along with the rest of the world, will have to depend on fossil fuels until there is a way to utilize more environmentally-sustainable forms of energy. Fossil fuels power the industries that help move the human race forward into discovering newer and safer technologies.
The United States’ biggest oil-related problem is the prevalence of imported oil. At least 60% of the country’s oil usage comes from imports, with 13.15 million barrels imported in a single day. If the United States produced more of its own oil, it could reap great benefits:
Energy Security
The biggest problem the United States has to deal with in competing for international oil is the scarcity of product set against an entire planet of competitors to obtain it. More locally produced oil means that the United States won’t have to depend wholly on the availability of supply worldwide to thrive.
Improved Trade
Americans spend a lot of money to obtain oil from an ever volatile global market that keeps on inflating. If the U.S. were to produce more oil locally, then they won’t have to bend to the whim of the global market, and funds can be focused on improving the nation.
More Jobs

Increased efforts toward harvesting local oil means good for the American people. It won’t just decrease oil prices; it’ll also increase the local generation of oil, and thus more jobs.
