DOWNLOAD EBOOKGAO examined the Federal Government's ability to cope with oil import disruptions, reported on the adequacy of the Department of Energy's (DOE) current contingency programs and organization for dealing with oil shortages, and suggested ways to strengthen the Nation's energy emergency preparedness. In order to examine present emergency preparedness, GAO examined emergency programs for quickly increasing oil supplies, substituting other fuels for oil, restraining oil demand, and allocating short supplies both nationally and internationally. GAO also analyzed the contingency programs provided by the Emergency Petroleum Allocation Act since Congress might choose to renew or otherwise extend the authority of one or more of those programs. With the exception of the recent buildup of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), the United States is no better prepared to deal with significant disruptions in oil imports than it was during the 1973 oil embargo. The Nation's almost total lack of emergency preparedness requires immediate attention. GAO found that the Nation is grossly unprepared to cope with a large shortfall because: (1) no plan has been prepared for emergency surge oil production; (2) there is no adequate plan for using SPR; (3) the Government has no plans for managing private oil stock drawdown; (4) both crude oil and petroleum product allocation programs are in disarray; (5) Federal and State plans for restraining oil demand are totally inadequate; (6) emergency oil reserves both here and in other industrialized countries are not adequate; and (7) the international oil sharing mechanism is too narrowly focused and may not work effectively. Government energy supply programs should be developed before any shortages occur so that government at all levels will not have to enact measures in the confusion and political pressures generated by a disruption of supplies. Programs are needed which: will yield significant benefits when applied, are fully developed and kept ready for use, can be implemented in a timely manner, can coordinate the actions of the public and private sectors, can be enforced, and are fully tested before use.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe Prize recounts the panoramic history of oil -- and the struggle for wealth power that has always surrounded oil. This struggle has shaken the world economy, dictated the outcome of wars, and transformed the destiny of men and nations. The Prize is as much a history of the twentieth century as of the oil industry itself. The canvas of this history is enormous -- from the drilling of the first well in Pennsylvania through two great world wars to the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait and Operation Desert Storm. The cast extends from wildcatters and rogues to oil tycoons, and from Winston Churchill and Ibn Saud to George Bush and Saddam Hussein. The definitive work on the subject of oil and a major contribution to understanding our century, The Prize is a book of extraordinary breadth, riveting excitement -- and great importance.
