America may very well be the most resource rich nation/region in the entire world.

whats stupid is that we dont even use it. we should be energy independent

What energy resources are you talking about? When it comes to oil and gas, the U.S. has less reserves than other countries (I think Russia is the top in gas).

Apparently the U.S. has the most coal, but that's the dirtiest fossil fuel, not something you want to burn quickly to become energy independent.

Still, I agree that it's ridiculous to say the U.S. has no natural resources.

Yeah, in terms of oil, it relies on Middle Eastern countries.
