Hard Truths: Facing the Hard Truths About Energy

Description: Facing the Hard Truths about Energy – A Comprehensive View to 2030 of Global Oil and Natural Gas Still In Shrink Wrap – Includes CD-ROM The American people are very concerned about energy—its availability, reliability, cost, and environmental impact. Energy also has become a subject of urgent policy discussions. But energy is a complex subject, touching every part of daily life and the overall economy, involving a wide variety of technologies, and deeply affecting many aspects of our foreign relations. The United States is the largest participant in the global energy system—the largest consumer, the second largest producer of coal and natural gas, and the largest importer and third largest producer of oil. Developing a framework for considering America’s oil and natural gas position now and for the future requires a broad view and a long-term perspective; both are provided in this study, which was prepared in response to a request from the Secretary of Energy. The complexity of today’s integrated energy markets and the urgency surrounding today’s energy issues demanded a study that included: An integrated view of supply, demand, infrastructure, technology, and geopolitics A comprehensive review of public and aggregated proprietary energy outlooks In-depth analysis of technology trends and opportunities Policy options viewed through economic, security, and environmental lenses More than 350 participants from diverse backgrounds and organizations Dialogue with more than 1,000 persons and groups actively involved in energy. The NPC is making the study results and many of the documents developed by the study groups available to all interested parties as follows: Executive Summary provides insights on energy market dynamics as well as advice on an integrated set of actions needed immediately to ensure adequate and reliable supplies of energy, while assuring continued expansion of prosperity including economic growth, global security, and environmental responsibility. Report Chapters contain summary results of the analyses conducted by the Demand, Supply, Technology, and Geopolitics & Policy Task Groups; a discussion on Carbon Management; a full listing of the study’s recommendations; and a description of the study’s methodology. These chapters provide supporting data and analyses for the findings and recommendations presented in the Executive Summary. Appendices contain Council and study group rosters, description of the study’s outreach process, and other information. CD provides the full report and additional documentation including Data Warehouse files and Topic Papers. The Topic Papers are detailed, specific subject matter papers and reports prepared by the Task Groups and their Subgroups. These Topic Papers formed the basis for the analyses that led to development of the summary results presented in the report’s Executive Summary and Chapters. The Council believes that these materials will be of interest to the readers of the report and will help them better understand the results.
