The impact of US energy independence on global policing

The US is becoming increasingly self-sufficient, not just in energy but in various aspects. This means that the US may not need to police the world, which is currently done by the US Navy. As a result, other countries will have to step in to ensure global safety. However, if there are delays in transitioning to renewable energy and the US begins to import more energy, this idea of the US retreating from the world could be incorrect. The distinction between gas and oil is significant, with the US being self-sufficient in gas but facing challenges in shale oil. The shale oil boom is concentrated in the Permian basin.
