Un reciente estudio confidencial de la agencia alemana de inteligencia plantea incluso la posibilidad de que de aquí a 2020 Estados Unidos se convierta en un país exportador de gas y petróleo, a diferencia de ahora, que es el mayor importador de energía del mundo (honor que en el futuro probablemente recaiga en una China que aumentará su dependencia de Oriente Próximo).
A recent confidential study by the German Intelligence Agency raises the possibility that the US could actually become an oil and gas exporter by 2020, in contrast to its present position as the world’s largest energy importer. That honor would likely fall to China, which would become increasingly dependent on the Middle East.
