Seeking an Energy Breakthrough

The United States of America is sinking deeper and deeper into an energy crisis. Informed people already understand this along with the growing danger to our national security.

There may be something constructive that a group of motivated citizens can do to move us faster towards achieving energy independence. This article contains an ACTION PLAN for your consideration–but first, some background.

The past century has seen the most astonishing technological progress in human history. In almost every field of technology such as air transportation, information science, global communication, space travel, medical innovation, omnipresent computing, etc., American ingenuity has dramatically transformed this nation, along with much of the world as well,–except for comparable progress in energy.

The 20th century began with American dependence on fossil fuels, i.e. oil, coal, and natural gas (OCG). The 21st century now begins with America still overwhelmingly dependent on the same OCG. Even after the oil shock of 1973 we failed to heed that wake-up call to get serious about energy independence. There has been much talk about it but, during all that time our national leadership failed to create a coherent energy policy to achieve that goal.
