The Bottom Line
A task force for the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), a highly respected
Washington think tank, recently released a report that contains dire predictions
for our economy and global oil markets.
Led by ex-CIA chiefs John Schlesinger and John Deutsch, the group reports that the
United States will be unable to achieve energy independence any time in the
foreseeable future, even with massive injections of ethanol, wind power and other
alternative fuels.
Noting the potential ramifications of Energy Mercantilism, it recommends radical
conservation initiatives, possibly including higher gasoline taxes and gasoline
rationing.
It also calls for the implementation of an active public policy… to correct these
markets failures that harm U.S. economic and national security.”
Most oil and gas resources, the report states, are controlled by state-run
companies,some of which enter into supply contracts with consumer countries
that are accompanied by political arrangements that distort the proper functioning
of the market.
The fact is, more and more oil buyers and sellers are hooking up directly, outside of
the marketplace. And in many cases, they’re including other payments into the
transactions direct investment, infrastructure development, political favors, trade
agreements, etc.
And therein lies the uncertainty. How does one know if he’s paying the going rate
for oil when a going rate doesn’t exist? ……Don Miller

Energy has become one of the most significant concerns in the 21st century. The need for energy has continued to increase and it has become difficult to meet this demand. Coal is poised to be one of the most important sources of energy but it is facing the challenge of environmental impact. To ensure that coal becomes an important source of energy in the world, it is important to put in place a framework for sustainable coal mining. The government should play bigger roles in regulation of coal mining and ensure environmental impact assessment is carried out first. The government should shut down mines if they continuously ignore the law. Fines are not sufficient deterrents for coal mines to supply with safety standards and protect the people and the planet.
