有朋友提到了美國是能源出口國,中東亂的話,對他影響小。 其實不然,傳統是油氣不分家,即有石油就有天然氣。 而美國的頁岩氣革命實際提供了一條單獨提供天然氣的途徑。 解決的是天然氣供應 不是原油。 即使如此,美國在能源總量上還是逆差:
「In 2018, the United States imported about 9.93 million barrels per day (MMb/d) of petroleum from about 86 countries. In 2018, the United States exported about 7.59 MMb/d of petroleum to 190 countries and 4 U.S. territories, of which about 26% was crude oil and 74% was non-crude oil petroleum. The resulting net imports (imports minus exports) of petroleum were about 2.34 MMb/d."
