The US has been a net exporter of petroleum + petroleum products for over a year.
(Technically, petroleum is still a net import, but this is more than offset by the export of products).

The US is also a significant net exporter of natural gas.

Which could be the reason why TPTB are pushing green so they sell those resources overseas instead of within the US. And/or bankrupt the current owners as a means of nationalizing those industries or foreign entities buying up the assets for pennies on the dollar. Whether or not the US loses reserve currency status or not, very little bit that isn't traded in US dollars is a hit on the US economy especially when your running a 31+ trillion deficit.
