Energy Independence PowerPoint
Presidential Candidate
Opinions
   Both presidential candidates, Mitt Romney and
    Barack Obama, have vowed to break the
    United States free of foreign oil, offering a
    pledge of at least North American “energy
    independence” in the next four years.
   No matter who wins the upcoming election in,
    the United States is already on course to
    derive much of its oil - and all of its natural gas
    - from within its own borders, thanks to
    technologies allowing energy companies to
    harvest fossil fuels from dense rock
    formations.
But….
   Abundant domestic supplies don’t
    guarantee a drop in the overall cost of
    energy.
     Oil prices are set based on a world market,
      which is subject to a complex mix of factors
      outside the control of the United States.
     And even if net U.S. or North American oil
      imports plummeted to zero, the United
      States would still be connected to that global
      market.
Foreign Influence
   “So long as you are part of a global oil market,
    your economy remains vulnerable to unrest in
    that market – even if you are buying oil from
    yourself,” said Michael Levi, a senior fellow for
    energy and the environment at the Council on
    Foreign Relations.
   One example of this, a scenario even
    optimistic analysts foresee occurring, is that
    OPEC countries could cut their production to
    offset any spikes in U.S. oil.
     “There will be times when OPEC may respond and
      cut production and that will temporarily pop up the
      price again,” said analyst John Freeman, managing
      director of Raymond James & Associates.
The Two Candidates’ Plans
   Romney unveiled his energy plan last month in
    a 21-page exposition that promises “North
    American energy independence by 2020.”
     This would be accomplished largely by expanding
      offshore drilling, relaxing environmental regulations,
      and putting states in control of permitting energy
      projects on federal land within their borders.
   Conversely, Obama’s energy approach would
    combine support for renewable fuels and
    alternative power with domestic oil and gas
    production.
     Obama also has broadly touted the promise of newly
      available natural gas supplies.
What This Means for the U.S.
 Both Obama and Romney have praised
  increased energy development as a way to
  kickstart the U.S. economy and create
  jobs.
 Daniel Ahn, chief commodity economist at
  Citi, predicts that new U.S. oil and gas
  production could add between $200 billion
  and $300 billion in revenues, stimulate
  many hundreds of billions more in
  economic activity, and create 2 million to
  3.5 million new jobs in the next several
  years.
The Impact of Fracking
   The surge in drilling in North Dakota, Ohio and south
    Texas has been made possible by horizontal drilling
    and hydraulic fracturing techniques that free natural
    gas and oil from dense rock formations.
   The crude extracted from the Bakken formation in
    North Dakota, the Eagle Ford shale in Texas and
    other unconventional oil plays has enabled the U.S.
    to reverse a nearly four-decade-long decline in
    domestic production.
     “By opening the door to vast resources of unconventional
      liquids, and, of course, natural gas too, the industry has
      radically reshaped the trajectory of U.S. oil production,”
      said Raymond James Analysts in a report that was the
      foundation for much of Romney’s proposal.
Where We’re Headed
 Citigroup forecasts that by 2020, the
  United States will be producing 15
  million barrels per day of liquid fuels, up
  from 5.6 million barrels per day last year.
 Raymond James predicts net oil imports
  to essentially reach zero by 2020, based
  on more biofuel, declines in demand and
  boosted domestic crude production.
