Chris, you are getting downright loony. Roughly 1% of the electricity
in the US is generated from oil, whether foreign or domestic:

Man, if you're going to be lazy and ignorant, you should at least
learn to keep your mouth shut until you wise up and stop looking like
a fool. You've become ridiculous.

Not that I have any irresistible urge to defend our resident mormon, but
dayum, I don't think too many people knew that oil was just 1% of
electricity generation -- less than renewables, according to that site. Dat
was quite the eye-opener!
Renewables are presumably wind, pv's, and hydro-electric. I'da thought
hydro-electric would have been more.
T Boone Pickens was trying to corner the market on nat gas, iirc.
