Sustainable Energy--A National and International Security Imperative

Sustainable Energy: A National and International Security Imperative To frame the Issues and stimulate discussion of plausible solutions free of energy industry influence. Draws and integrates data from Academic, USDA, Commerce and DOE EIA sources through 12/08 Proposes a holistic near term solution against a backdrop of national security and global warming concerns. Examines controversial issues Key Issues Are we running out of oil? Do we have plenty of natural gas reserves? Is Hydrogen created by renewable electricity burned in fuel cells the right solution for clean transportation energy? Can biofuels -- especially ethanol -- ever realistically eliminate the need for imported oil without a major impact on food costs and land use? Can renewable wind and solar generated power with conservation meet our electricity needs? Nuclear power plants are seen as unsafe, inefficient and expensive and their radioactive waste will pollute the planet for thousands of years. And what about weapons grade fissile material? Can clean energy be made economically from coal with the CO2 sequestered by pumping it underground? Are we running out of oil?We are certainly running out of cheap oil. Productivity of easily accessible oil reserves are is waning. Hence the assessment that the peak in supply has already occurred. If worldwide demand for oil continues to grow, the price of oil will continue to increase. As the price increases, large more expensive and energy intensive “unconventional” reserves become economically viable if consumers are willing to pay that price. Even so, this simply postpones the inevitable depletion of oil resources, and exacerbates greenhouse emissions. If so why are we importing 25% now soon to be 30%? And why are the energy companies clamoring to build LNG terminals to bring in more from the same countries that now are part of the oil cartel? Approximate Trade Deficit Contribution of Crude Oil And Natural Gas Imports Vectors Are in
