Writing for the FuelFix Blog, William O'Keefe gives us the Top 9 Energy Facts Ignored by Federal Policy.

Here are four of them. Click here for the rest of the list.

  1. Fossil energy (coal, oil, and gas) will continue to fuel the U.S. and the rest of the world for at least the next several decades, according to IEA and EIA.
  2. Americans' economy and lifestyle are based on mobility, and mobility depends on reliable, affordable fuel.
  3. No abundant, commercially competitive alternatives to liquid fuels — gasoline and diesel — yet exist.
  4. The potential of biofuels as an alternative to gasoline depends on advances in cellulosic technology, which experts don’t expect anytime soon.
