In his 2012 state of the union address, president barack obama said:
"nowhere is the promise of innovation greater than in american-made energy. we've opened millions of new acres for oil and gas exploration, and more than 75% of our potential offshore oil and gas resources. right now, american oil production is the highest that it's been in 8 years. last year, we relied less on foreign oil than in any of the past 16 years.
but with only 2% of the world's oil reserves, oil isn't enough. this country needs an all-out, all-of-the-above strategy that develops every available source of american energy—a strategy that's cleaner, cheaper, and full of new jobs."
