This article analyzes the current state of the mineral resources of the U.S. base, structural changes in the mining sector in the U.S., to study the main trends and prospects of commodity dependence, issues related to the implementation of the policy of diversification of sources of energy raw materials, as well as questions aimed at reducing energy intensity of U.S. GDP. The article presents data on the resource base, the dynamics and projections of production, imports, parallel to the existing energy bases – internal and external, research the main macro-economic activities to determine the level of energy security, the reasons for the reduction of fuel imports from the Middle East and at the same time slacken one's pace of development the mining industry in the United States itself. The fuel imports reduction can’t guarantee of energy security until as the U.S. economy is not to choose the road for energy efficiency and alternative energy sources. The problem solution to achieve via a three interrelated goals the long-term energy policy, namely the reconstruction of all components the energy infrastructure, and the transition to a more economical use of primary energy resources, expanding the profitable use of alternative energy sources.
In article are considered questions of state regulation to use of mineral resources on the materials of the fuel and energy complex of the USA as the most important component of the state policy in the sphere of nature. To determine the influence of the dependence of the U.S. economy from the import of energy resources to the energy security of the country, the results of the analysis of the main directions of long-term energy policy of the state. In article are investigated positive and negative aspects of modern American government regulation, which is based on a dual system of patent access for lands owned by the state with a certain set of mineral resources and system lease and license to access exploitation of primary resources the Earth's interior, while the maximum effective daily rate of resource extraction does not cause irreparable damage to the process of exploitation of mineral deposits.
