America's New Energy Abundance

AMERICA'S NEW ENERGY ABUNDANCE AMERICA'S ENERGY SECURITY IS IMPROVING The 5th annual U.S. Energy Security Risk Index shows that America's risk has declined for 200 201 a second straight year. The energy revolution has made America more secure and has helped protect American consumers from global disruptions. MEASURING OUR ENERGY RISKS The Institute for 21st Century Energy's Index of U.S. Energy Security Risk measures 37 different metrics and compares them to America's average energy risk from 1970 to the present. It also looks forward to 2040 to determine if our energy security will improve or decline - and why. U.S. Energy Security Risk Index, 1970-2040 Of the 37 Index metrics, 14 Highe k 110 showed an increase in risk of 1% or more 10 70 showed an decrease in risk of 1% or more 60 11 1970 1975 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005 2010 2015 2020 2025 2030 2035 2010 showed essentially no change in risk in 2013 AMERICA'S ENERGY REVOLUTION For the second year in a row, we have seen America's energy security risk improve. IN 2013: We paid Risk related to crude oil imports DECREASED BY Risk related to natural gas imports DECREASED BY Q $61 18% 16% BILLION LESS to foreign energy supplies GAS AMERICA THE ENERGY SUPERPOWER America is producing so much more oil and natural gas thanks to the "shale gale" that we are becoming a vital force in stabilizing world energy markets. AMERICA HAS: North Dakota Increase in ............................................. SURPASSED RUSSIA AND oil prodution by 177% since 2010 More than a MILLION Barrels per Day SAUDI ARABIA IN OIL PRODUCTION INCREASED CRUDE OIL Texas ranks as one of the ten largest oil producærs in the world PRODUCTION 48% SINCE 2008 Texas TOP TEN INCREASED NATURAL GAS PRODUCTION 53% SINCE 2008 HELP PROTECT AMERICA'S ABUNDANT ENERGY FUTURE The decline in our energy risk is being driven by America's domestic energy revolution, but improvements in our energy security are not a given. Poorly designed policies that limit access to resources, and regulatory overreach have created uncertainty that threatens to hold back U.S. energy production.
