Securing America's Future Energy

92% of America’s transportation sector is monopolized by a single fuel—oil.

This exposes our country’s economic and national security to a volatile and easily manipulated global oil market. America must address its overwhelming reliance on oil in three ways:

Increase Fuel Efficiency in U.S. Transportation

Reduce the United States’ demand for oil through improved vehicle efficiency, limiting the negative effects of an unpredictable global oil market

Improve Fuel Diversity in U.S. Transportation

Accelerate the use of alternatives to power our cars, trucks, and aircraft, taking advantage of abundant, domestic, and secure fuel sources like electricity and natural gas.

Expand Production of Our Domestic Resources
