gas through the natural gas pipeline, gas from gas
hydrates, nor expanded coal gasification. The United
States Geological Survey estimates that natural gas
hydrate resources in-place total 169,000 Tcf in Alas-

150,000 Tcf off the lower-48 Atlantic, Pacific, and
Gulf of Mexico coastlines.
(9) The terrorist attacks in the United States
on September 11, 2001, and the subsequent expan-
sion of terrorist organizations in regions outside of
North America in areas that are major suppliers of
oil, and potential suppliers of liquified natural gas,
to the United States have significantly increased the
national security and homeland security risks to the
United States of relying upon oil and natural gas
supply sources located outside of the three contig-
uous North American countries. The United States
imports 60 percent of our oil supplies–the highest in
history. After Canada and Mexico, the largest oil
suppliers to the United States are Saudi Arabia,
Venezuela, Nigeria, Iraq, and Algeria all of which
suffer from significant instability.

source was biomass with 47 percent of the renew-
ables total energy output, followed closely by hydro-
electric with 45 percent, then geothermal with 5 per-
cent, wind with 2 percent, and solar with 1 percent.
Technology is rapidly advancing, positioning renew-
able energy to provide an increasing share of our en-
ergy supply in the residential, commercial, indus-
trial, transportation, and electric power sectors. The
United States public lands and waters comprise 2.25
billion acres, large portions of which may be avail-
able to rapidly expand this clean and renewable al-
ternative to fossil energy resources. These lands
should be reviewed for their potential contribution to
our Nation’s domestic energy security.
(20) The United States has the strongest envi-
ronmental safeguards in the world, and our stand-
ards, science, and technology have proven that the
United States can produce energy in an environ-
mentally benign manner, particularly when com-
pared with the lesser environmental standards in
most foreign oil producing countries.
(21) The 1999 Clinton Administration report,
‘‘Environmental Benefits of Advanced Oil and Gas
Exploration and Production Technology,’’ highlights
the technological achievements of the United States
1019
oil and gas industry. The report noted, ‘‘public
awareness of the significant and impressive environ-
mental benefits from new exploration and production
(E&P) technology advances remains limited . . ..
We believe it is important to tell this remarkable
story of environmental progress in E&P technology.
Greater awareness of the industry’s achievements in
environmental protection will provide the context for
effective policy, and for informed decision making by
both the private and public sectors.’’.
(22) Many Americans believe the myth that
spills from oil and natural gas exploration and pro-
duction are the leading cause of oil pollution in the
oceans and the Nation’s rivers and streams. The re-
ality is that, to the contrary, in 2002 the National
Academy of Sciences found that offshore oil and nat-
ural gas exploration and production account for a
total of only 2 percent of the oil in the North Amer-
ican marine environment; natural sources such as oil
seeps account for 63 percent of such oil; industrial
and municipal discharges, including urban runoff,
account for 22 percent of such oil; atmospheric pol-
lution accounts for 8 percent of such oil; marine
transportation accounts for 3 percent of such oil;
