ENERGY – Lifeblood of the economy and to modern society

Utah Energy: Doing Alright

Utah ranks as the 15th largest producer of coal

Utah ranks as the 12th largest producer in crude oil

Utah ranks as the 8th largest procuder in natural gas

Need for Basic Energy Education

Renewable Energy More than half of Americans cannot identify one specific

type of renewable energy

Fossil Fuel Nearly 40% cannot identify a specific fossil fuel

We need your help educating the public!

No More Oil?

“THE U.S. IS RUNNING OUT OF NATURAL GAS—PRODUCTION IS DECLINING AND

DEMAND GROWING—SO THE EXPECTATION IS THAT THE IMPORT LEVELS WILL GO FROM 3 PERCENT TODAY TO ABOUT 24

PERCENT IN 2020.”

PAUL H ANRAHAN, CEO OF AES POWER, JAN. 2007

No More Natural Gas?

America’s Energy RichesThe United States is Energy RichBut How Rich?

• The U.S. has 110 years of natural gas

• The U.S. is the world’s #2 coal producer

• The U.S. has over 450 years of coal

• The U.S. is the world’s #3 oil producer

• The U.S. has over 200 years of oil

• The U.S. is the world’s #1 natural gas producer

North American Oil vs. World Oil

Source: Institute for Energy Research, North American Energy Inventory

Technically Recoverable Oil Resources

Can fuel every passenger car in the U. S. for 430 years

Can fuel all oil demand in the U.S. for 250 years at

current usage rates

Contains almost twice as much oil as the proved reserves of all the OPEC nations

Contains more than 6 times the proved reserves of Saudi Arabia

The United States is energy rich, but policy poor

A recent Wood Mackenzie study found that accessing U.S. oil and natural gas currently off-limits could create more than 500,000 new jobs and generate $150 billion in new government revenue by 2025.

In Utah, more sensible oil and gas energy policies could result in at least 26,000 created by 2015 and nearly 50,000 jobs created by 2020.

This would mean an average of $255 million of new revenue to the state every year through 2030.

Final Note

“…over the long run, societies that expand and improve their energy supplies overwhelm those that don’t. The paramount objective of US energy policy should be to promote abundant supplies of cheap energy and to facilitate their distribution and consumption.”

Peter Huber and Mark Mills, 2005
