Do you mean a single word to fill the blank? The most likely answer is "oil" (petroleum).

So the completed sentence would read: "The United States’ fossil fuel shortage of oil makes the country dependent on outside sources."

Why: historically the U.S. has imported significant amounts of petroleum (and some natural gas) to meet demand, creating dependence on foreign supplies. If you meant a different fossil fuel (coal, natural gas) or a numeric amount, tell me and I can adjust.
