Brief Executive Summary
The Subcommittee on Energy and Resources of the House Committee on Government Reform discusses the evolving energy security landscape in the United States. In light of increased oil and gasoline imports, high fuel prices, and natural disasters like Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, the report emphasizes the need to reduce dependence on oil and refined petroleum products, especially in the transportation sector. The report suggests measures such as improving fuel economy standards, promoting fuel-efficient vehicles, and diversifying energy sources by increasing reliance on emissions-free nuclear power.
