The Energy Industry in the United States. The United States is a leader in the production and supply of energy, and is one of the worldâs largest energy consumers. U.S. energy companies produce oil, natural gas, renewable fuels, as well as electricity from clean energy sources such as wind, solar, and nuclear power.
Imports fill the gap between U.S. energy use and U.S. energy production. The United States is one of the largest energy importers in the world. The United States was energy self-sufficient until the late 1950s, when U.S. consumers began to use more energy than was produced in the United States (domestic production).
