Seite 248 - US energypolicy of volatile oil prices, emphasizing the effects of low prices on domestic oil production, eg, plugging of stripper wells and loss of production from tertiary and some secondary recovery operations in the shorter term, loss of production and reserves due to lower drilling rates, reduced R&D expenditures, and so forth in the longer term. In the second phase aimed at overall US energy supply and demand...

Seite 249 - Next, the study will describe current forecasts for the next 15 to 25 years and identify their underlying assumptions. The study will then identify and evaluate the primary sources of technical uncertainties in the forecasts. The sources of technical uncertainty include: economic growth rates and patterns; new energy supply, conservation, and end use technologies; geologic uncertainties about available oil and gas resources; consumer reactions to lower energy prices, and other aspects of public and...
Seite 80 - ... in the mix. Also, it is important to prepare for the possibility that greenhouse warming may become far more serious in the future. Alternative energy technologies are unable currently or in the near future to replace fossil fuels as the major electricity source for this country. If fossil fuels had to be replaced now as the primary source of electricity, nuclear power appears to be the most technically feasible alternative. But nuclear reactor designs capable of meeting fail-safe criteria and...

Seite 240 - A strategy to limit oil import dependence and vulnerability might involve goals to (1) limit overall oil imports, perhaps to 50% of total US oil use and (2) diversify sources of world oil production and therefore US sources of imports to regions of the world outside the Middle East where such imports can be aligned with other US policy interests. Other than noting that the potential for improved production in the Soviet Union, Asia, and South America is great, I shall not address the latter goal...
