US Energy Trade Balance -- Idle Rambling -- EIA Graphic -- October 20, 2018
From twitter:This is a most interesting graph.
- Time line:
-
- two lost decades + first year of Trump administration
- Big picture:
-
- Bush II: 2000 - 2008 -- "energy" imports went from $100 billion to an astounding $500 billion; even importing coal; what the heck was he doing? looks like something one would expect from a "Jimmy Carter" presidency
- Obama: 2008 - 2016 -- incredibly, he stopped the bleeding; of course, a lot of this was due to the economy, but with regard to energy, mano a mano, Obama has bragging rights; following Bush II, under Obama things turned around
- Coal:
-
- the US actually imported coal during the Bush II years; what was that all about?
- that ended with Obama (2013 may have been an exception)
- not only that, but coal exports in 2011 - 2012 (Obama) remarkable
- after dropping back to "zero," US coal exports resumed in Trump's first year
- Natural gas:
-
- imports picked up in Bush's fourth year and then reached "steady state"
- shale gas revolution turned that around during Obama's presidency
- look at the amount of blue (imports) during the Bush years; how fast that changed during the Obama years
- still not seeing the "natural gas export story"; that should change (but ...)
- Petroleum products:
-
- 2015 - 2016: an anomaly; an interruption of the inevitable; slowdown due to global economic downturn? Saudi Surge occurred at this time but not sure how the Saudi Surge would affect US petroleum products exports
- Crude oil imports:
-
- at some point, we might see crude oil imports / exports balance out
- US needs foreign heavy oil to balance the glut of its domestic light oil
