Oil Debates: Reducing American Dependence on Oil

Author

Abstract

There is now widespread agreement that the United States must do something about the amount of oil it consumes. But all proposals are a trade-off between the good and the bad. In a useful, even-handed analysis, the authors analyze several widely discussed solutions and present the pros and cons of each of them.
