Britain’s “Financial Times” recently published article pointed out that the situation of rising oil prices, all countries should take measures to deal with, and specifically the United States as an example on how to take measures to reduce dependence on oil issues its recommendations are as follows Zhaibian :

more than a year ago, we helped the United States a large number of groups organized a campaign to arouse public concern about two become more prominent, it may drag down the global economic trends. The impact of these two trends in energy prices and supplies are: China, India and other emerging markets oil demand growth than expected; the Persian Gulf oil supplies are interrupted by the danger of terrorist attacks. Projections indicate that oil prices once again drop to 50 U.S. dollars less than a distant hope.

the oil reserves “peak” in the new round of debate, highlighting the national government and the oil industry a clear understanding of these two trends. Oil reserves “peak” represents the world’s oil reserves, bell-shaped curve to the top, once they reach peak oil production is followed by reduced prices. Most experts believe that we will be in 25 to 30 years to reach this peak.

the growth in demand and supply due to the impact of falling long-term, governments cautious response to these factors, not taken any significant measures is not surprising. However, from Tokyo to London to Washington, political leaders have failed to respond to a threat to Gulf oil supply disruptions, which had more confusing.

For example, if major oil processing center of Saudi Arabia Ras Tanura to attack the market of oil a day would be about 400 million barrels, oil prices will be much more than a night, one hundred U.S. dollars a barrel. This dramatic interruption of the supply may last a year, almost entirely because of Japan’s oil imports, so the economy will collapse within a few weeks, shortly after other industrialized economies will implode.

This is not alarmist speculation, oil industry experts and governments have to reach that consensus. That being the case, why does not the U.S. government to develop a positive route to find a solution then? Fair to say that President Bush had frankly pointed out that the risk of dependence on foreign oil, and put forward a number of response measures. The core of these measures has so far revolved around the supply of conventional oil, an increase of the United States in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, and other known U.S. production of overseas oil and gas storage areas. But the fact that these measures not enough to make the United States from dependence on foreign oil.

The good news is that there are a large number of technologies have been proven feasible, will allow the United States in 20 years, completely free of dependence on foreign oil, while also significantly restrict other dependence on oil-importing countries. Specifically, the United States should take four steps to achieve energy independence.

First, we must rely solely on gasoline, ethanol and methanol and gasoline turn to the mixed fuel. Brazil has shown that when oil prices of more than 45 U.S. dollars a barrel, the ethanol extracted from sugar cane in the stations are very competitive. Today, the majority of cars in Brazil use of ethanol and gasoline mixed fuel, its production cost of about 1.75 U.S. dollars per gallon. Methanol can be extracted from coal, the cost is about 50 cents per gallon, while the U.S. coal reserves comparable to Saudi Arabia’s oil reserves. Diesel engines using diesel should come from renewable resources and coal.

Second, the cars and trucks should be designed that can use a variety of fuel models. This technology already exists for a long time. New cars sold in Brazil, half of you can use a variety of fuels. Only about 150 U.S. dollars, a car can have this function.

Thirdly, we should transition to the use of hybrid electric vehicles. In the United States on the road 150 million cars and trucks, half a day just driving 20 miles. To hybrid electric vehicles fitted with larger capacity, cutting-edge battery technology, plug in the power it at night “full”, the price is equivalent to only 25 cents per gallon of gasoline, so cars can travel 20 miles excellent condition, without additional gasoline.

Fourthly, we should re-assembly of the United States automobile manufacturing capital of Detroit, that the use of lighter, more robust carbon composite material. The next 20 years, if all U.S. vehicles are the basic carbon composite material, then oil imports could be reduced 52%, the vehicle will become stronger, lighter, more secure.

can be imagined, in the automotive and energy industries, has been the resistance of the existence of these technologies, but it is the issue of access to safe and cost answer. Alternative fuels at reasonable prices, Japan’s Toyota and other carmakers are proving the practicability of this automotive technology. Within two years, Japan is likely to introduce plug-in hybrid, and away from the hands of Detroit for more market share.

Even with all of these measures will take another 20 years to replace the U.S. 150 million on the road to vehicles. However, if do not take action, the cost may be disastrous. In 2005, there had been encouraging the U.S. Senate and House bipartisan spirit of cooperation, both sides agreed to implement most of these ideas. In this spirit that formed the atmosphere, the president’s recent State of the Union speech in the proposed corresponding measures.

英国报纸报道，关于如何采取措施减少对石油的依赖文本

英国“金融时报”最近发表文章指出，油价上涨的情况下，所有国家应采取措施处理，并作为就如何采取措施减少对石油的依赖问题的建议为例，尤其是美国如下Zhaibian：

一年多前，我们帮助美国一团体组织了大量活动，以唤起两个更加突出市民的关注，它可能拖累全球经济趋势。在能源价格和供应这两种趋势的影响是：中国，印度和其他新兴市场的石油需求增长低于预期，波斯湾的石油供应受到恐怖袭击的危险中断。预测表明，油价再度回落至50美元不到一个遥远的希望。

石油储备“高峰期”，在新一轮的争论，强调国家政府和石油业的这两种趋势清楚的了解。石油储备“峰值”代表了世界上石油储量，钟形曲线的顶端，一旦石油产量达到峰值降低价格是其次。大多数专家认为，我们将在25至30年将达到这一高峰。

需求增长和供应由于长期下跌的影响来看，政府反应谨慎这些因素，没有采取任何重大措施，是不足为奇的。然而，从东京到伦敦，华盛顿，政治领导人没有作出回应，以海湾石油供应中断，该更混乱的威胁。

例如，如果主要产油国沙特阿拉伯塔努拉加工中心，攻击石油市场每天将约400万桶，石油价格会比一晚以上，一百美元桶。这戏剧性的供应中断可能会持续一年，几乎xx是因为日本的石油进口，因此经济将崩溃，在数周内后不久，其他工业化国家，也会崩溃。

这不是危言耸听投机，石油行业专家和政府已经达成共识。既然如此，为什么没有美国政府采取积极的途径寻求解决办法呢？公平地说，布什总统已经坦率地指出，对外国石油依赖的风险，并提出了应对措施。这些措施的核心至今围绕传统石油，是美国在北极国家野生动物保护的增加，和其他已知的美国海外石油和天然气存储领域的生产供应。但事实上，这些措施还不足以让来自外国石油的依赖美国。

好消息是，有一些大量的技术已经证明可行，将允许20年来美国，xx对国外石油的依赖程度降低，同时也大大限制其他依赖石油进口国。具体来说，美国应采取四个步骤来实现能源独立。

首先，我们必须xx依赖于汽油，乙醇，甲醇和汽油转向混合燃料。巴西已经表明，当超过45美元一桶的油价，从糖的乙醇在车站甘蔗中提取的非常有竞争力。今天，在巴西使用乙醇和汽油的混合燃料，其美国大约每加仑1.75美元的生产成本大多数汽车。甲醇可以从煤炭中提取的成本大约是每加仑50美分，而美国煤炭储量相当于沙特阿拉伯的石油储量。柴油发动机使用的柴油应来自可再生资源和煤炭。

第二，汽车和卡车的设计应该是可以使用多种燃料车型。这项技术已经存在很长一段时间。在巴西，售出新车的一半，你们可以使用多种燃料。只有约150美元，汽车可以有此功能。

第三，我们应该过渡到混合动力电动汽车的使用。在道路的1.50亿辆汽车和卡车，仅半天驾驶20英里美国。为了与更大容量的配备混合动力电动汽车，{zxj}的电池技术，在它的权力晚上插件“充分”，价格仅相当于25加仑汽油每美分，因此汽车可以旅行20英里良好的条件，无需额外汽油。

第四，我们应该重新美国底特律的汽车制造之都装配，认为更轻，更强大的碳纤维复合材料的使用。未来20年，如果美国所有的车辆是基本碳复合材料，其次是石油进口可减少52％，汽车将变得更加强大，更轻，xxx。

可以想像，在汽车和能源行业，一直是这些技术的存在性，但它是获得安全和成本问题的答案。以合理的价格替代燃料，日本的丰田和其他汽车制造商正在证明这一汽车技术的实用性。在两年之内，日本很可能推出插电式混合动力车，并避开底特律手中更多的市场份额。

即使这些措施都将采取20年，以取代道路上的车辆，美国1.5亿美元。但是，如果不采取行动，费用可能是灾难性的。 2005年，出现了令人鼓舞的美国参议院和众议院的两党合作的精神，双方同意执行这些想法大多数。本着这一精神，形成氛围，总统的建议在相应的措施，最近的国家联盟发言。06.1.28
