Where are we? What's the cost?
What’s the opportunity?
Section IIThe Energy Reality:
![Page 9: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Really… How much are we talking?• How much did the US spend on imported oil in 1972? $4 billion = 1.2% of US defense budget
• How much did the US spend on imported oil in 2006? $260 billion = Half US defense budget 65.5% of all oil used in US
• How much is that per day? Per hour? $700 million/day; $30 million/hour
![Page 10: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Where does the oil come from? Much of the world’s largest proven oil reserves are found in
unstable areas and within countries hostile to our nation’s values.
![Page 11: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How much of U.S. oil demand is driven by the transportation sector?
Where does the oil go?
More than 2/3rds all oil consumed in the United States
goes toward transportation.
![Page 12: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Where are we going? How many trips?
Transportation
![Page 13: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How are people traveling to work? Alone? Carpool? Public Transit?
Transportation

Who is getting the windfall?How are they spending it?
![Page 15: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
• Guess how much a sustained $5 increase in the price of a barrel of oil correspondingly increases Iran's revenues from oil?
$500 million
“We are funding both sides of the war on terrorism” - New York Times Columnist Thomas Friedman

National Security: IranIn its showdown with the West, Iran has pledged to use all means, including oil, to secure nuclear weapons.
“If [the U.S.] makes a wrong move regarding Iran, definitely the energy flow in this region will be seriously endangered.” - Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, Iranian supreme leader
“If [the U.S.] politicizes our nuclear case, we will use any means. We are rich in energy resources. We have control over the biggest and the most sensitive energy route of the world.” - Mostafa Pour-Mohammadi, Iranian minister of interior

How do these petro-dollars correlate to terrorist funding? How much does Iran give to Hezbollah directly every year?
![Page 18: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
• Iran funds Hezbollah directly with $30 - 45 million every year.
• Iranian ships were confiscated by the Israeli Navy attempting to drop off weapons to Hamas in the Gaza Strip

Saudi Arabia: Oil & WealthWhat is the net worth of Saudi Arabia and other OPEC oil producers at $100 per barrel?
![Page 20: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
On what are some Saudis spending our money?While our petrodollars flow to Saudi Arabia, home to the world’s largest oil reserves, Saudi children are taught contempt for Christians, Jews, and the West.
Excerpts from Saudi Textbooks:
“There is no doubt that the Muslims’ power irritates the infidels and spreads envy in the hearts of the enemies of Islam – Christians, Jews, and others – so they plot against them, harass them, and seize every opportunity in order to eliminate the Muslims.”

National Security: VenezuelaPetrodollars fuel Hugo Chavez’s “populist” revolution at home and in neighboring countries, helping him achieve his goal of gaining influence in this Hemisphere.
“[T]he English middle classes would have to stop using their cars, [if the U.S. attacked Iran, as oil would go to $100 a barrel or more.] We would do the same if we were attacked. We would cut off our oil.”
#5 oil exporter#4 supplier to U.S. 7% of world reserves CITGO – Venezuela’s state-owned oil company has 14,000 gas stations in U.S.

And of course - Economic Security
Who's the most vulnerable to price fluctuations?
![Page 23: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
United States VulnerabilityAmericans use more oil per person than any other country in the world. This oil dependence is estimated to create a loss of jobs, output, and tax revenues totaling between $297 - $305 billion annually.

So where can we get some comfort?
ELECTRIFICATION OF TRANSPORT
![Page 25: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Plug-In Electric Vehicles (PHEVs)
• How much gasoline could we display if we converted all US Cars to PHEVs? • 6.5 million barrels per day or 52% of the nation's oil imports• Electricity is domestically produced – jobs/money stays in US
![Page 26: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Domestically Produced PowerMakeup of U.S. Power Generation - (2008 approximations)
COMPARISON: France: 79% nuclear; Germany; 42% coal
• OUR COAL DEPENDENCY 50% of U.S. states receive more than half of their electricity from coal U.S. has world’s largest coal reserves
COMPARISON: China is building a coal-fired power plant every 1 - 2 weeks
• WIND: U.S. surpassed Europe as world’s largest wind power producer in 2008.
COMPARISON: China is third but moving quickly up.
Hydro, Oil & Renewable 2%

What about the cost of electricity compared to gasoline?
![Page 29: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Electricity Options versus Gasoline per Gallon
• Typical power source in expensive state (NE)• 2006 Electricity price:
≅ $1.47 per gallon
• Saving in other states/regions more significant• ‘Peak’ time versus ‘Non-peak’
![Page 30: Advancing Energy Security at AJC](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062309/56814fa3550346895dbd60af/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
