As is Australia, we consume more diesel per capita then any other country on earth and don't have a strategic reserve located on shore, we have small amount in some rented space in the US.

While some leeway should be given to the argument we're a big country with a small population and moving shit around is problematic and energy intensive, we've not invested in electrification of rail transport or trains at all (we recently abandoned a 1/2 completed inland rail project)and have indeed gone the other way for 50 years and just built roads.
