BARRY ASMUS
Powering America's Energy Future
As a Senior Economist with the National Center for Policy Analysis, Dr. Barry Asmus has argued for removing laws that restrict the development of domestic energy supplies. By 2020, Barry Asmus estimates that America will consume 125 quads of energy, a 25 percent shortfall from the current supply. France doubled its energy independence by building 57 nuclear power reactors in the last 30 years. The U.S. should do the same. By drilling in Alaska, in America's Outer Continental Shelf, in the Gulf of Mexico, and in states that have huge deposits of shale and coal our dependence on foreign oil would fall dramatically, as would energy prices. Both wind and solar energy will be helpful in the long term, but they are only intermittent sources of future power. Do we want more oil, gas, and electricity or more regulation, taxes, and dependence? The choice is ours.
