Part1
There are many concerns that are brought to the forefront when
you discuss the U.S. energy policy and three of those are
according to Yacobucci (2016) “…assuring a secure supply of
energy, keeping energy cost low, and protecting the
environment.” By assuring a supply of energy this is referring
to not eliminating one component of America’s consumption of
energy while bolstering another. As a nation we want to be
independent from the oil from the Middle East, but we cannot
simply cut off our intake until there are programs in place to
ensure that our economy will not collapse. This ties into
keeping energy costs low, as long as there are multiple different
means of energy they will drive the prices lower for each other
in competition. While switching to an all renewable energy
source would be the best for the environment and global
warming, it is something that will take decades to accomplish.
There are many merits and risks associated with renewable
energy and making it a priority when it comes to the U.S.
energy policy. Currently we are largely dependent on foreign oil
to sustain our intake of gasoline/diesel for our vehicles. Along
with being dependent upon other nations we are also digging
into resources that take thousands of years to make instead of
using the resources that are around us and will not end. These
renewable resources are solar, wind, and hydrologic. If we used
these instead to heat our homes, light the streets, and fuel our
vehicles not only would we cut down extremely on emissions
we would become dependent of other countries. The merits of
such a program would be easy to spell out and the risks are
evident as well. The number one “risk” is the risk of losing jobs
that are already created and destabilizing countries that are

Part2
Globalization
is a process of interaction and integration among the people,
companies and governments of different
nations, a process driven by international trade and investment
and aided by information technology.
(
Globalization
org 2016)
Some of the major concerns that occur when it comes to US
energy
policy are security, which is the safety in the prevention of
future needs. People fear that environmental
deterioration
will affect present and future
generations
.
, Efficiency, a regulated industry and certain economic
activities can be restricted or prohibited, this can lead to extra
costs incurring and production of goods and services are
limited. Equity, minorities and the poor are
disproportionately the subjects of
environmental
insults such as locations of facilities that are used to clean the
environment.
( Mark E.
Rushefsky
2013)

3. Energy independence from foreign sources means that
America&risque;s must invest both in increasing conventional
domestic sources such as coal, oil, and natural gas but also must
emphasize new technologies that make those resources more
efficiently used and must drive toward the use of alternative
energy technologies such as solar, wind, thermal
depolarization
of organic waste, and bio fuels.
( Reform party 2016)
Increasing supply through more domestic production
The United states has an abundant supply of natural gas and oil,
more than just about any country on earth. In recent years
environmental friendly technologies have been developed to
allow increased production. Domestic production of gas and oil
can lead to an increase in job creations and economic growth, as
well as energy security. The US government would look to
make billions of dollars and they wouldnt’t have to rely on
foreign governments. With a domestic supply of energy it will
be more affordable and attainable for this generation and many
more. ( AFPM 2016) However there are still many issues when
it come to domestic production such as petroleum refining,
changes in consumer demand, strategic petroleum reserve, the
US economy can be damaged by price increase or supply
disruptions. Fluctuation in gas prices
and
the use of alternative fuels. ( GAO 2016)
