There is a story right now on the news saying the US will be a net

And that's good news of course. Our oil will eventually be depleted

If we do it right oil will eventually be worth more as an industrial
feedstock than it is as a fuel. You can make electricity from wind,
photons and fusion but you can't make plastic and chemicals that way.
