[Validity] False [Explanation] Only about 2% of the oil consumed in the U.S. is used for producing electricity. Until there is a mechanism that transfers the energy produced from those sources to a form usable for transportation and the other uses of oil, increased electricity production will not affect U.S. energy dependency.
