Please look over the current White House stance on Securing American Energy (apologies for the use of political documents).

The general topics are:

  • Increasing Safe and Responsible Domestic Oil and Gas
  • Reducing Oil Imports
  • Increasing Vehicle Efficiencies (passenger and trucks)
  • Clean Energy Innovation
  • Increased Renewables
  • Nuclear Power as a viable option
  • Smart Grid progression

You should have the goal of writing a short paragraph on each of these subjects above. Here are a few (5) pages extracted from the Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future to get you started.

Also take a quick scan of the George Bush era stance.
