How The United States Got Hooked On Foreign Oil

- The United States is predicted to become a net energy exporter by 2020. This will be the first time since 1953 that the country exports more fossil fuels than it imports. For almost a century prior, the United States of America was the largest oil producer in the world. So how did the United States get hooked on foreign oil.
Every American president since Richard Nixon has pledged energy independence as a way to strengthen us geopolitically, make us more secure, or boost our economy.
The story of American oil begins in 1859 in Titusville, Pennsylvania. Small amounts of oil had seeped from the ground for a long time, but no one knew how to extract it. Until, Edwin Laurentin Drake, a former conductor, was hired. After many failed attempts, he finally struck gold -- black gold.
The next FEW decades, major oil finds in Texas, California and Oklahoma contributed to U.S. emergence as a major economic power. The 1901 Spindletop gusher in Texas nearly tripled U.S. oil production.
Henry Ford’s Model T invention in 1908 - the first mass-produced car - made America the most motorized country in the world. Other industrialized countries like France, Britain and Germany were ways behind.

@@ireneuszpyc6684 Yeah I see people make that claim that the US stages things around the world to start wars, all based on declassified actions half a century ago when the ENTIRE GOVERNMENT was filled with ENTIRELY DIFFERENT PEOPLE. Governments are simply a structured hierarchy system for legal and financial administration of populations. They are not self aware or capable of action as to be blamed for anything in reference in ways like 'The government'. People that temporary worked in positions of government are the individuals who decide and do what happens.
The US has a much stronger system of law then those countries where individuals have much more ability to act and not be imprisoned in North Korea and Iran then they do in the US were it to ever be made public that deceptive and war crime like actions were being committed, things that you can't hide unless you think the heads of government in the US are personally flying out to these places and attacking oil tanker themselves so that those orders would be going through 100 people in the chain of command and for all of them to NEVER say anything about it. The US doesn't stage that crap and those countries, well Iran anyway has a militaristic fanatic Islamist government that despises western civilizations fundamental values as in how we live as society.
Did anyone notice how Nixon mistakenly said "foreign enemy"

So upsetting seeing that coal has 14% of US energy, while renewable is at 11%
I know, in the uk we’ve moved away from coal making up 0-2% of energy and renewable is around 20-30%
coal was ~50% 20 years ago though
Al Quinn progress is being made, we need more nuclear though instead of gas
only so much renewable energy that can be made both cheaply enough and reliably to be worth the effort, not just in the money sense but also in the sense of the rare earth minerals needing to be mined for renewable energy.
It's upsetting seeing nuclear at 9% when it should be at 90%
While hydraulic fracturing unlocks great fossil fuel yields, it is important to remember that such processes are shown to directly decrease ground stability, thereby increasing possibilities of earthquakes and related side effects in a very wide area around the site.

I love how they just ignore the fact that the problem in using shale oil is the ground is spoiled. Nothing grows the minerals are all gone. Shale oil is valuable but it is also the worst thing possible for a country. It is not reversable.
I'm glad Europe did not allow Shale Oil. It does destroy the land where it is fractured.
They will be short of land, in some decades.
Fracking doesn't destroy the land. Injection wells have been linked to earthquakes and failure to comply with BMP's has resulted in water contamination. Out of thousands of wells maybe a dozen have polutted localized sources. Shale oil is required for wind and solar to develop.

That pfp
CNBC Staff, This video is a great overview. Many thanks for uploading it.
4:06 Are you sure about Soviet Union though? At the time Baku, Azerbaijan was providing 70% of USSR's oil demand
@DFW rider Soviet Union saying America basically made the AIDS virus in laboratories? they would never...
@DFW rider well, there is indeed was huge aid in the form of lend-lease. But as far as Im concerned they had their own oil. For the record when I say "their own" I mean from the country that was part of Soviet Union (not Russia). At the time of WWII big oil reserves in Russia itself were not discovered yet. All the oil came from Azerbaijan which was invaded by Communist Russia in 1920.
If we had solar panels on every roof and more wind turbines, we'd have plenty more 'energy' to export and cleaner air.
Solar panels and, in particular, turbines are not clean to make. Multiply that by every household and thats one massive carbon footprint. Also, you would need batteries to make use of a lot of captured energy. Lithium reserves are not infinite and, again, are not clean to dig out the ground. It is progress however and technology is improving. I still want the US to re-endorse nuclear energy. Its the cleanest energy source known to man and the waste product is conveniently localized. Thorium reactors are needed.
@@Paul-zk2tn "Lithium reserves are not infinite and, again, are not clean to dig out the ground."
Seems you're not very knowledgeable on the subject. It's plentiful, and you don't dig it out of the ground. Nice of you to volunteer to store the nuclear waste in your yard, though. You should also read up on recycling. Most of the battery is recyclable, and used turbine blades + cement is amazing.
Politicians aint ready for that talk yet, unfortunately
Wind and solar are roads to energy poverty.
@@AZOffRoadster no buddy, you're the one wrong here. There won't be 3nough after you're done and the carbon footprint is too large to really make sense as wind turbines and panels usually break or just stop working after about 20-40 years. The greatest source of energy when complete will be Fusion and there is no waste product but the second best that is available is Nuclear Fission Reactors. Sure they're not waste clean after producing the energy but as he said, Thorium reactors can significantly make a difference. We just need better Nuclear waste management.

I got hooked by CNBCs RUclips channel. Thanks for providing these great documentaries!
Quite a mediocre documentaries.
If I had a country that had its own oil reserves, I would hide it. I would make deals with every other country that has oil and use theirs for cheap. Then when the whole world runs out, I could sell my oil for huge profits since I’m the only country that has oil.
oil cant always be cheap, nor will the world ever run out of oil, it will only be more expensive to extract and thus costlier
Oil and gas have a limited time. As prices rise the time is cut shorter and shorter. Get it out of the groubd today, sell it, invest in the future.
Just stick to the Iron throne mate, your not cut out for our reality
Would do the exact same.
Every country knows that actually...thats basic in economy.duhh

Great video! Looking forward to part 2
It’s amazing to me that oil increases is cost about the same amount in today’s dollars during the oil embargo and in the price shock of 2010. In 2010, we had no shortage, just crazy high prices with an indebted population who could t afford it leading to a massive glut. I still don’t understand what exactly happened to oil in 2010.
Is hard to explain how big of a deal this is. Many of our foreign policies are currently based on our energy needs. This changes everything.
basic economics to know that you use another country's resources first and then when they run out you will have your resources to sell to them later
No economics about it! Just us humans being humans. Destroy someone else then have them pay you for destroying them.
Those videos are great. Keep it up!

As a millenial one of my main reasons to postpone first car purchase is to reduce oil producing nations ' political power. Electric vehicles energy needs can be produced easily domestically
Ugh millennials
Electric vehicles are built with use of fossil fuels, also money poured into electric vehicles is hidden by political motivation. Nothing righteous about electric vehicles.
@@mortemssoul6342 respond to his argument
We are an oil exporter now.
@@mmohon93 The oil will not disappear. It will be replaced by electric vehicles.
@Blurp Bibablobop Oil is a renewable resource. It is formed in the molten core of the Earth. It rises through the cracks and crevices as a vapor. It cools off and become crude oil. It is NOT a fossil fuel.
@@tedbishop Just wow.
@@AZOffRoadster Because it is black and burns,some thought it was akin to coal. It is not even close. My entire family was raised and worked in the oil field. We knew that if a well is pumped dry, shut it down for a year and it will make as much oil as it did originally. Renewable.
@KHALID WARSAME I am 79. I was born and raised in the oil field. All my relatives worked their entire life there. When a well is pumped dry, we let it set idle for 8 to 10 years then start it back up. It will then make as much oil per day as when it was first drilled.
Excellent context.

Now oil is the important commodity in the world but in future it's going to be renewable energy sources.

As an electrical engineer we will not make it on renewables better get used to nuclear
Everyone here is wrong about this topic unfortunately, the most important commodity yet isn't alarmed is water.
@@dylanramirez8009 as an electrical engineer who was a previous biochemist yes plastics in water is terrible and of great concern for the planet. Fortunately with LOTS of electricity it is possible to make freshwater, so as a citizen in the US im not too worried about that right now

Anyone know if part2 has been uploaded been looking but no luck
The US was never running out of crude oil. It’s always had it. It was just smart about how it used it and manipulate the market.
Mudbone gaming Yep. The ironic part is that we allowed the rest of the world to deplete their resources and sell it for $50 a barrel so that when there reserves are gone in 20 years we’ll have all of our wells tapped and sell that oil to the third world for $200 a barrel. The entire time it was just a big scheme to get all of the OPEC nations to sell off all their oil for pennies. It’s funny too because we’ve had proxy wars in the Middle East so that they are forced to buy our US made weapons to fight wars that we instigated. They’re basically selling us oil just so they can buy weapons and fight each other. Until all of their oil is gone and all they have are a bunch of weapons to murder their neighboring countries with. By that time we’ll close the bases and leave and let them at each other.
"for almost a century, America was the largest oil producer in the world." can someone tell me when was that? I am a geologist and I have never heard such thing.
They explained it in the video. During the first and second world wars the United States supplied the allies not only energy but equipment, tanks, planes, ships.
You know its all historical fact. You can read a history book. Not all oil comes from the middle east.
Guys! He’s a geologist!
People don't watch the while video anymore
I believe they are referring to the period between 1859, when Edwin Drake first struck oil in Pennsylvania, and the 1950s, when America’s economy boomed so much that we started to rely on foreign oil to meet our energy consumption. During that roughly 100 year period, America was the worlds largest producer of oil. Hope this helps
11.04 Suddenly the US instead of being short of gas was starting to have a lot of gas 😂😂
Also infrastructure,particularly the U.S national grid infrastructure plays a vital role in America's energy independence. If the plants producing the energu as well as the very entities receiving the energy are malfunctioning and out of date,that can effect the entire U.S national grid as well as its energy independence.
One big problem is that almost all transportation revolves around needing a car, it's unsustainable in the long run cause oil won't last forever.
The Interstate Highway system led to suburbs which led to relying on automobiles instead of urbanites using mass transit and getting around for a fraction of the oil.
"...addiction..." Use your common sense. If you want to produce more, you'll need to have more energy.
2:56 ok that's a guy smoking in an oil well
Don’t worry raw uncleaned oil is not flammable i mean it is but not that extreme
Energy independence is increased by simply producing more energy. Most watts of energy are produced from coal,fossil fuels,and atomic power plants,with renewables such as solar being the minority. With establishment of both renewable and non-renewable plants(With Renewable Energy Taking The Lead) America can possibly work towards and/or achieve it's energy independence.
Amazing
States are a monopolistic country and smart they use foreign oil ...when they deplete they unleash their reserves and dominate the market
Sounds like a video game. Are you sure u don't live in one?

Great!
Thank you CNBC
This video just gave me more questions. I feel that there's more to this.
This is where the memes come in
U.S.A, China, India, Russia consume the most fossil fuel. Now correlate energy consumption to population by countries & there’s PART of the answer. More people = More domestic/international energy demand.
The US extracts and sells MORE barrels of oil per year than barrels of oil we import per year. Why are we not energy independent?
We are exporting crude oil instead of refining all of US oil into gas for two reasons I believe. First, because the US refineries are built to refine the type of oil we import (sweet and sour) which is different than the type of oil we extract (sweet) from the US and export.
Please correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t want oil companies are doing the same as if I owned a farm and market that could sustain my neighborhood, but I sell what I produce to another town and I purchase cheaper produce to sell at my market. My neighbors are still fed and I have a bigger profit margin.
Why is exporting more oil than we import something to be proud of?
"Confessions of an Economic Hit Men"
you failed to explain and misrepresented the disastrous outcomes fracking has done to communities around the country from polluting their water supply at the end of the video
All in the name of energy independence!
But a lot of it is politicized foreign propaganda from OPEC cartel and Russia who obviously want to protect their own oil profits..
Ameya S plenty of videos online with toxic water coming out of faucets of homes in areas surrounding fracking sites

NPAMike We have rare earth minerals in the USA. The thing is that it’s cheaper and easier to buy it from a Country that doesn’t care about its miners health and he environmental impacts.
