Oil no longer leading U.S. energy source
It is expected that natural gas will surpass oil in the United States by the end of this current decade, after the gap between them narrowed in 2025 due to the boom in shale gas production, increased demand for electricity, and the expansion of data centers and electric vehicles. The report indicates that in 2025, gas accounted for approximately 36% of energy consumption, compared to 37% for oil, with projections that gas will overtake oil by the end of the decade and become the country’s primary energy source. This transition depends on the growing use of gas in electricity generation, supported increasingly by advanced shale oil and gas technologies, while the role of coal continues to decline despite efforts by the Trump administration to bolster the sector.
