President Obama delivered his annual State of the Union speech this week, calling for action on jobs, deficits and other of his lofty goals.

Absent from the speech, however, were ideas specific to rural America. But, thanks largely to a boom in U.S. oil production -- especially in less-populated areas--- America is finally beginning to wean itself from foreign oil.

President Barack Obama: “After years of talking about it, we’re finally poised to control our own energy future. We produce more oil at home than we have in 15 years. We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas, and the amount of renewable energy we generate from sources like wind and solar -- with tens of thousands of good American jobs to show for it. We produce more natural gas than ever before -- and nearly everyone’s energy bill is lower because of it. And over the last four years, our emissions of the dangerous carbon pollution that threatens our planet have actually fallen.”
