American Oil Diplomacy in the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea [electronic resource].

The United States is the world's largest oil consumer and importer. Here Gawdat Bahgat examines the nation's growing dependence on fossil fuels--particularly oil--and the main challenges it faces in securing supplies from two energy-rich regions, the Persian Gulf and the Caspian Sea. He argues that long-term U.S. energy strategy must be built on diversity of both the fuel mix and the geographic origin of that fuel. It should include a broad combination of measures that would stimulate domestic production, provide incentives for conservation, promote clean technologies, and eliminate political barriers to world markets.http://florida.theorangegrove.org/og/file/b14b215b-f6d3-964c-0776-a9500329d2b1/1/AmericanOilDiplomacy.pdfNarrative text, Textbookhttp://www.ogtp-cart.com/product.aspx?ISBN=9781616101053Higher EducationExpositiveThe United States is the world's largest oil consumer and importer.
