Might oil and natural gas temporarily extend the hegemony of the USA?

Texas Oil Pumpjack (Flcelloguy)

While this newspage tends to focus on why the USA is going to lose its dominance and be taken over, not all the news related to the USA and its economy is negative. Notice the following:

April 1, 2013

Without fanfare, China passed the United States in December to become the world’s leading importer of oil—the first time in nearly 40 years that the U.S. didn’t own that dubious distinction. That same month, North Dakota, Ohio and Pennsylvania together produced 1.5 million barrels of oil a day—more than Iran exported.

As those data points demonstrate, a dramatic shift is occurring in how energy is being produced and consumed around the world—one that could lead to far-reaching changes in the geopolitical order…

Most agree the U.S. would be the big winner, in position to reshape its foreign policy and boost its global influence. http://www.cnbc.com/id/100606163

LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany — The sprawling chemical plant in this city along the Rhine River has been a jewel of Germany’s manufacturing-led economy for more than a century. But the plunging price of natural gas in the United States has European companies setting sail across the Atlantic to stay competitive.

German chemicals giant BASF, which operates the plant here, has announced plans for wide-ranging expansion in the United States, where natural gas prices have fallen to a quarter of those in Europe, largely because of American innovations in unlocking shale gas…Here in Ludwigshafen, many people view the United States as the land of the future. http://www.washingtonpost.com/world/europe/european-industry-flocks-to-cheap-us-gas/2013/04/01/454d06ea-8a2c-11e2-98d9-3012c1cd8d1e_story.html

Readers of my book, Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States-Second Edition for Second Obama Term have been aware of my own views on this, as in it, I wrote the following:

During the second term, agriculture in the U.S.A. will become more and more dependent on genetically modified foods, despite the fact that the Bible warns about buying food that is not really food (Isaiah 55:2).

The number of people on food stamps in the U.S.A. increased under the first Obama Administration and likely will increase again in his second Administration (Hawkins J. 40 Reasons Not To Re-Elect Barack Obama. Townhall.com, August 24, 2012).

But does this mean that the U.S.A. economy must go straight down in President Obama’s second term?

No.

There are some reasons to have some temporary optimism. The longer there is economic stagnation, the more demand tends to build up, and an increase in demand may prolong the economy. In addition, technological and other developments may temporarily support the U.S. economy.

In addition, because of improvements in various aspects of energy technology, the U.S.A. may experience an energy export boom, such as with oil and natural gas, etc. (Stansberry P. The Next Stage of America’s Rise to Energy Dominance. Daily Wealth newsletter, November 28, 2012) that may prolong its days of economic prosperity. But prolonging is likely all that is possible (cf. Daniel 4:27). Thiel B. Barack Obama, Prophecy, and the Destruction of the United States-Second Edition for Second Obama Term. Nazarene Books, 2012/2013, pp. 67-68)

But, ultimately, and relatively soon, the USA will be taken over and be no more.

Yet, a boom in energy may prolong its days of dominance. For a time.
