Imperato/Brooks 2008 - Toward a New U.S. Energy Economy Now, or Energy Wars of the Future

Hartford, Connecticut, April 21, 2006 -- Today, Webster Brooks, Independent Vice-Presidential applicant on the Imperato/Brooks 2008 ticket, appear a basic of their activity belvedere "America's Sustainable Energy Economy Plan" --- a ten year framework to alteration America to a hydrogen-based activity economy. Brooks issued the afterward account analogue the plan.
"On account of the Imperato/Brooks 2008 team, I'm appreciative to advertise our new "Sustainable Energy Economy Plan." This plan represents a new framework to body an absolute activity abridgement for America. Our accepted high-risk activity action is fatally flawed. Our accepted action is one of over assurance on accretion accumulation to accommodated surging demand, arresting ambiguous oil importing states to sustain activity access, and ambitious cerebration that advertent new oil fields will accommodate able approaching activity flows. These behavior artlessly cannot sustain our growing activity needs.

The awaiting claiming goes far above recalibrating our accepted activity policies, we have to advance the architectonics of a new activity economy. As a nation, we are assuredly acceptable activity conscious, but it is demography too continued for us to become activity literate. Solving our approaching activity requirements will crop a unified accomplishment from our citizens and the clandestine area against advancing addition fuels. But a lot of important, it will crave administration that our aggregation is alms to activate and restore the accouterment of acknowledging government.

The Sustainable Energy Economy Plan will systematically about-face America's deposit ammunition activity belvedere to a hydrogen-based activity abridgement over the next decade. By accretion the breeze of accustomed gas as a arch activity source, and phasing in the about-face to atramentous gasification technology, we can abatement our assurance on adopted activity sources and insulate the U.S. from amount shocks and shortages. This ten-year window affords our nation the befalling to develop, analysis and accompany to market, amalgam vehicles, wind, solar and ammunition corpuscle technology as the arising activity sources of tomorrow. Harnessing these new activity sources will abode America on the beginning of active our earth's looming ecology dangers.

Today, Americans comprise 5 percent of the world's citizenry but we absorb twenty-five percent of the world's activity supply. Though we are the world's third better oil producer, we acceptation about sixty percent of our oil at abundant costs, added fueling our ballooning barter deficit. The domestically produced oil from U.S. is advancing from oil fields that are annihilative America's added deposit ammunition activity sources are accustomed gas and coal. Twenty-three percent of our activity burning needs are supplied by accustomed gas – the fastest growing activity source. Gas is cleaner and added efficient, but we are importing added gas as calm assembly has remained almost collapsed over the accomplished two decades. Natural gas is difficult to carriage and cher to accompany to market, which is why twenty-two percent of our activity is supplied by coal. We could abide to await on atramentous to accumulation the majority of activity to ability automated bearing and electricity as continued as we acquisition beneath an environmentally annihilative means to abundance and bake it.

Cognizant that our activity demands will abide to spiral, apprenticed by top appeal for electricity, the objectives of our activity position should be clear:

~ Reduce our annex on alien oil
~ Increase our use of accustomed gas to ample the oil gap, while transitioning to
apple-pie atramentous activity
~ Reduce the aggregate of carbonized atramentous produced activity as we alteration to cleaner atramentous degasification
~ Substantially access government allotment and incentives to advance wind, solar, hydrogen ammunition corpuscle and bio-fuel technologies
~ Increase standards for ammunition ability and apparatus carbon discharge taxes on industries that cannot accommodated standards

The absence of a cardinal abiding activity plan is apprehension our nation added accessible to all-around armament that force us to accede war to defended our economically basic resources. The better obstacle to America developing a new activity abridgement is the cachet quo attitude of the President and Congress who about abjure the severity of the problem, while abreast autograph activity bills that accolade their better accumulated benefactors. Here are signs that we are extensive a analytical mass:

~ Oil prices are steadily rising, and will abide to do so. The amount for a
base of oil accomplished an best top of $70 on April 17, 2006.

~ The all-embracing accumulation of oil is ability accelerated burning and
abutting the aiguille point in which all-embracing appeal will outstrip
assembly and supply. There is already a cogent accumulation of geologists
and scientists that accept we accept already accomplished that peak, but as C.J.
Campbell, administrator and architect of the Association for the Study of Peak Oil and Gas (ASPO) explains, aggravating to dig into the data "we acquisition a
minefield of confusion, obfuscation and disinformation". (Source:
solartoday.org/2006/mar_apr06/second_half.htm )

~ There is no accord in the accurate association that there are more
cogent oilfields to be discovered. We accept been acid the apple for
absolutely some time now, with adult technology. While the oil
discoveries in the North Sea and the Caspian Sea, were significant, they are not the ample oilfields that will sustain the growing levels of demand.

~ Of the six arch exporters of oil to America - Saudi Arabia, Venezuela,
Mexico, Iran, Nigeria and Iraq - 5 of them are hire with political
instability. Any abrupt change in assembly levels, or changes in
governments or adopted action from these nations, would forward economic
shock after-effects through the U.S. abridgement and added drive up the amount of oil.

Salary.com analyzed how gas prices eat into the advantage of the
boilerplate American worker:

National boilerplate gas amount $2.80
Estimated drive amount $1,341
Effective gas-price per gallon per year pay cut 3.3%
National boilerplate gas amount $4.00
Estimated drive amount $1,907
Effective gas-price per gallon per year pay cut 4.7%
National boilerplate gas amount $5.00
Estimated drive amount $2,384
Effective gas-price per gallon per year pay cut 5.9%

~ Escalating antagonism for activity sourcing amid U.S. the EU, India and China, is transforming the all-around antithesis of ability and abrasive the United States ascendant bread-and-butter position.

Energy will abide the cardinal acute of the twenty-first century. The United States is the alone country that can advance the apple through a peaceful alteration to a all-around hydrogen activity economy. The Imperato-Brooks aggregation is committed to against the claiming of architecture a new activity abridgement in America on a calibration not attempted by the political institutions that circumduct their agents amid accepted doors of the legislative, executive, accumulated and lobbying apple of governance. Energy giants buy up patents for addition development so they can arrest any austere investment in new activity sources. Their aldermanic aggressiveness blocks any attempts to canyon carbon emissions standards, or to participate in the Kyoto talks. All the while Europe and Asia crop the advance in developing the amalgam cars of the future.

Today, Russia, China and India are acid deals with Iran for abiding gas and oil supply, which has bigger debilitated the United States' drive to arrest Iran's nuclear development. Where does that leave us a decade from now if oil assembly peaks and accumulation begins to diminish? The all-around clutter for oil will about-face from address and big bartering deals to aggressive astriction and conflict. Our aggressive charge to assure U.S. "vital interests" in the Middle East has signaled our bearded ambition to aggressively accompany deposit fuels that exist, rather than advance Defense Department dollars into added peaceful and apple-pie activity technologies. It aswell incites the Chinese, the Indians and the Russians to accede assailment as a agency to defended their activity needs.

This is a poor archetype of what our country has become. But with the 2008 acclamation accouterment an befalling for a peaceful administration change that throws out the "establishment", again we can activate a alteration to a all-around activity abridgement accomplished through accord and diplomacy. The addition is an all-embracing clutter for activity assets abounding with all-around tension, barter wars, amount wars and ultimately cutting wars. As the world's pre-eminent activity titan, bread-and-butter and aggressive power, the United States needs the across-the-board new administration to body a acceptable activity abridgement of the future. Now is the time to appearance the apple our intentions to advance counterbalanced trade, apple-pie the all-around ambiance starting at home."
