YES, good news indeed! What is interesting if you adjust GDP for the impact of domestic drilling, you will find absolutely no growth in the US economy since Obama took office.

This is good news.

Seemed doubtful at first, but now it's looking like another datum for the "why everything's great" list.  My concern was that usually energy use is proportional to general economic health and that falling imports really just meant a falling economy.   The whole picture is somewhat more upbeat, that while total U.S. energy use has been hit by the '09 disaster, over the years meeting this need has seen a solid shift from foreign to domestic production.
