While this is accurate. All medical supplies involving plastics also use oil and have no alternative.


Not sure what this has to do with the point of the meme, but OK.

Driving a big truck has next to no impact on the course of oil usage due to its small share of the whole consumption - and the necessity of crude oil in nearly every part of our society.

That wasn't the point of that pic, either. It's that the kind of people who drive those "rolling coal" shitboxes tend to be the loudest voices bitching about gas prices, even if they're not the most common ones.

2020 was an anomaly due to the pandemic which let the bottom fall out of the commodity markets. As recently as 2019, the U.S. was still a net importer:

Iirc, the financial situation in the fracking industry was getting increasingly unsustainable before the pandemic. Also, this debate shouldn't be focused exclusively on the U.S. anyway. Europe is definitely dependent on oil and gas imports and it's not even close.
At the end of the day, oil and gas are global goods and until the government is willing to go full isolationist (with a proper export stop), the development of the world market prices will affect U.S. consumers.
