The US is in the comfortable position to have oil and gas and to have neighbors that have oil and gas (Canada, Venezuela*). If they were in Europe's place, they would trade with Russia just the same. I mean, before the war the US was already among the biggest buyers of some of Russia's fossil fuels.

That said, I don't agree with the comment chain and I'm glad the US disrupts OPECs price fixing and I also see them overtaking Europe in renewable energy soon, simply because they are better suited for renewables.
