Pacific Research Institute, November 4, 2009, online edition, 19p (PDF)
"Contrary to common belief, most of our energy does not come from oil, and most of that oil does not come from the Middle East. The United States does have alternatives to importation, particularly in the form of domestic energy production. New technology has greatly reduced the risk of offshore spills, but renewables such as solar and wind will not increase our energy security." This report by Tom Tanton challenges the conventional discourse about energy. He outlines the types of fuel most used in the U.S.—where they come from, the risks involved, and the potential for alternative technologies.
