Energy New Beat Podcast 156 with Ronald Stein – Energy security is a real problem around the world,
Ron Stein, Podcast, 11/22/23 https://energynewsbeat.co/156-ronald-stein-energy-security-is-a-real-problem-around-the-world-countries-go-to-war-over-energy-security-but-when-does-a-state-become-a-security-risk/
Seems that no one remembers the Oil Embargo of 1973!
50 years after the oil embargo crisis of 1973, no American policy for energy independence. America continues to INCREASE its energy dependence on China for “green”, and on OPEC and Russia for oil. Today, with LESS energy independence, America is more vulnerable to another embargo than we were 50 years ago!
46 years ago in 1977, in the aftermath of the 1973 oil crisis, the Department of Energy was established to lessen our dependence on foreign oil. Today, with 16,000 employees and a $31 billion dollar budget, California, the 4th largest economy in the world, is importing more oil than ever!
Over the same 46-year period, California Governors have been continually decreasing in-state oil production. Their emissions policies continue to force California, the 4th largest economy in the world, to be the only state in contiguous America that imports most of its crude oil feedstock to in-state refineries from foreign countries.
Today, California seems to remain exempt from the directive to the Depart of Energy more than four decades ago to lessen our dependence on foreign oil, as California is importing most of its crude oil demands from foreign countries, to support the States’ 9 International airports, 41 Military airports, and 3 of the largest shipping ports in America!
