This does not take into account natural gas. The US has something like 50% of the worlds methane ice within our continental shelf. Effectively enough to run the world for 100 years at current energy consumption rates without any other supply.
Also the US takes most of our natural gas from domestic resources(I'm pointing this out because we will be getting power from this as well.)
