DOWNLOAD EBOOKOil is the primary energy source for the U.S., her allies, and her friends--oil is the mainstay of their economies. Of great concern is the fact that they are becoming increasingly dependent on foreign, unstable sources for oil imports. This study identifies international and domestic political, military, and economic threats to the U.S. posed by oil and assesses the impact of these threats to the national security of the U.S. The study concludes that oil poses a threat to U.S. national security and that positive, long-term actions toward lessening dependency on oil are essential. Keywords: Oil products; Threat evaluation; United States government; Government(foreign). (cp).

DOWNLOAD EBOOKAmerican dependence on foreign oil has long been described as a serious threat to U.S. national security, and continues to be a political flashpoint even as domestic fracking eases the US' reliance on imported energy. Oil and American Identity offers a fresh perspective on the subject by reframing 'energy dependency' as a cultural discourse with intimate connections to American views on independence, freedom, consumption, abundance, progress and American exceptionalism. Through a detailed reading of primary literature, Sebastian Herbstreuth also shows how the dangers of foreign oil are linked to American descriptions of foreign oil producers as culturally different und thus 'undependable'. Herbstreuth shows how even reliable imports from the Middle East are portrayed as dangerous and undesirable because this region is particularly 'foreign' from an American point of view, while oil from friendly countries like Canada is cast as a benign form of energy trade. Oil and American Identity rewrites the history of U.S. foreign oil dependence as a cultural history of the United States in the 20th century.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis anthology explores the issue of the United States' dependence on oil. Can the country attain energy independence? Does the dependence on foreign oil weaken the economy? Is dependence on foreign oil a security threat? Can the United States transition from oil if it must, or is the country too deeply invested? This book gives evidence to both sides of these questions. Features previously published content from sources such as Jordan Weissman, Anne Korin, Pew Charitable Trusts, and the National Corn Growers Association.
