U.S. Policy on Energy Access

Abstract

Forty years ago, the United States discovered the consequences of relying on foreign oil during the OPEC oil embargo. Initially, the U.S. pursued policies to mitigate the impact of the embargo and reduce future reliance on foreign oil through conservation and domestic energy. Until recently, expanding U.S. energy access was inconsistent. During the last 10 years, there is renewed interest and growth in domestic energy access supported by government and industry. The United States must implement a strategy to maintain this momentum.
