America’s vulnerability to foreign energy supplies is clearly a top national security concern, which explains why two House subcommittees will convene a joint hearing Tuesday to discuss “Energy as a Weapon: Implications for U.S. Policy,” while over in the Senate, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee is also conducting hearings on “Energy Security and Oil Dependence.” Later in the week the House and Senate energy and technology subcommittees will hold hearings on alternative energy solutions to America’s dependence on foreign oil.
