Military, Business Leaders Release Comprehensive Energy Security Plan

The Energy Security Leadership Council (ESLC), a project of Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE), yesterday released A National Strategy for Energy Security, a comprehensive plan that offers the public and policymakers specific solutions to the very real threats posed by our nation’s dependence on oil.

The National Strategy lays out a pathway toward a long-term goal of an electrified transportation system that is no longer dependent on oil, along with the interim policies needed to reach that goal while keeping our economy and our nation strong and secure.

“The plan we are offering today includes details about exactly how we can reduce that risk. Most important, we must electrify our transportation system to end its complete dependence on oil. But that is not a simple task, which is why we lay out the specific steps needed to reach it. It is also a goal that will take many years to reach, which is why we recommend policies — including expanded domestic supply of oil and natural gas, reformed and improved fuel economy standards, and increased support for R&D — that will strengthen our economic and national security while we work toward the long-term goal,” he said.

…The Energy Security Leadership Council is a group of business leaders and retired senior military officers who are committed to improving America’s energy security.
