What does transportation energy security mean?
It means becoming a lot less dependent on an increasingly volatile and unstable world oil market. It means sending fewer dollars overseas to oil exporting nations such as Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Nigeria, and Venezuela. It means investing more in domestic fuels and creating more jobs. It also means cleaner air and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. Transportation energy security is achieved by being more efficient with the oil we use and diversifying the sources of fuels. All future growth in demand should be met through efficiency and new fuels.
