Drill! If you thought the Arabs and OPEC had us addicted and "over their barrel" of oil in 1973, when 40% of our oil supplies came from overseas, you would be quite wrong. Today, we import 50% more foreign oil than we did when Saudi Arabia and OPEC let us know how addicted we were them to their oil.... Now, about 65% of the gasoline in our cars' gas tanks comes from crude oil that is shipped here from foreign countries!
PRODUCES: 7,460,000 bbls of oil (within its borders) CONSUMES: 20,800,000 bbls of oil
One way of ending our addiction to foreign oil is through We have vast amounts of oil we have left in the ground and not produced. On average, we leave 25% to 50% of the oil in the ground, un-recovered, when oil well "decline" makes it no longer profitable to continue operating these wells.
We Support American Energy Independence and ending our "addiction" to foreign oil! We Support America's Need to "Go Green" And to Go-Green at "Full Speed Ahead!" But we also realize we simply cannot end the use of fossil fuel in one year or even one decade, that we need a transition period before America can be energy independent with renewable energy. Until then, and as we transition to home-grown renewable energy, America Needs America's Oil! And we certainly don't need to be buying any of our oil from China, Russia, Venezuela or Iran and supporting their economies with our dollars. And the most efficient and environmentally-friendly way to do this, is through Enhanced Oil Recovery.

* 240 Billion barrels of oil recoverable through EOR in the USA
* $24 Trillion market opportunity in the U.S.
The
"Green" Way to
Produce America's Oil &
Provide for America's Energy Security
EOR Technologies, LLC is a new company that provides Enhanced Oil Recovery; technologies, engineering, consulting services, marketing and business development services and a significant opportunity for oil and natural gas well owners and operators to significantly increase their oil production and revenues through our range of EOR technologies and services.
With the recent plunge in oil prices, our principal investor is now "on the sidelines" and we are seeking a new strategic partner/investor and provider of "turnkey" EOR services.
In the U.S., Enhanced Oil Recovery represents a $24 Trillion market opportunity according to the U.S. The Department of Energy. The $24 Trillion figure is based on oil at $100/bbl. The DOE's studies and reports indicate we can recover 240 billion barrels of oil through Enhanced Oil Recovery.
Enhanced Oil Recovery also has the environmental benefits of removing Carbon Dioxide from the atmosphere and sequesters the CO2 in oil & gas reservoirs. Through CO2 Injection, the "stranded oil and gas" that would not have otherwise been recovered, is produced, leaving behind the Carbon Dioxide.
We are committed to reducing and eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and carbon dioxide emissions through our sustainable power and energy operations.
We Support American Energy Independence!
We Support America's Need to "Go Green"
And to Go-Green at "Full Speed Ahead!"
However,
America Still Needs to Produce America's Oil,
So That We Can NEVER Again Be Held Hostage to Saudi Arabia, Venezuela, Russia or OPEC, for Their Oil.... Which Then Requires
Vast Amounts of Energy and Significant Greenhouse Gas Emissions
in Transporting the Oil to the U.S.
Never Again, Will America Be Held Hostage to Oil Sheiks, OPEC and From Countries that Don't Like Us.

About the Renewable Energy Institute
, Climate Science
Monty Goodell, MBA
Founder and Chairman
Renewable Energy Institute
The
Renewable Energy Institute
(REI) does not take a stand in the debate on global
warming, and if there is, is it "anthropogenic" and not caused by the
sun, sun spots, or the sun's normal cycles. Or, is global warming and
climate change caused by the water vapor in the
atmosphere?
At the Renewable Energy
Institute,
we are waiting for the "true"
scientists, doing the "real" research, to provide the science and
answers, and not the phony scientists who are following the politically-motivated
and profit-driven agendas of
the United Nations and many countries and government
leaders. These phony scientists are not interested in conducting real scientific
research. Their very livelihoods are dependent on the government
grants to fund their phony research. This
"political-interference" by governments, governmental
agencies, and so-called "leaders" that
hand out billions of dollars for these phony scientists to conduct climate
science and research, expect
the conclusions of the "research" to be tainted,
skewed, flawed to support anthropogenic global warming, or climate change.
Should these scientists accurately conclude in their research that they find no
evidence of anthropogenic climate change or global warming, they are summarily
dismissed, and black-balled from their communities and colleagues, and never
again receive funding or grants. This "politically-driven"
process of providing funding and
grants for real scientific research must stop. In
the meantime,
The Renewable Energy Institute is supporting and advancing renewable energy technologies, as well as reducing and eliminating greenhouse gas emissions and the fossil-fuel problems related to America's oil addiction and ending our dependence on foreign oil. The renewable energy technologies we support are already deemed to be economic, viable and practical. Solutions such as Solar Trigeneration energy systems (see www.SolarTrigeneration.com for more information) for any kind of facility or building - office buildings, shopping centers, data centers, university campuses, etc.
Since 2003, a Solar Trigeneration energy system has been providing 100% of the power and energy for a 5,300 sq. ft. office building near downtown Los Angeles, and doing so without any connection to the electric grid, whether its 12 noon or 12 midnite!
The Renewable Energy Institute is also involved in research and advocacy of "Net Zero Energy" (see: www.NetZeroEnergy.com for more information) and "Net Zero Energy Buildings" (see: www.NetZeroEnergyBuildings.com for more information). Net Zero Energy Buildings generate as much (or more) energy than they use, and export their excess power to the grid.
Climate Change, Global Warming or Global Cooling?
The past 10 years indicates the opposite, that there has been a moderation of "global warming" and that global cooling has taken place. "Climate change" is always taking place, from one day to the next, and one week to the next, as well as one year to the next. Climate change is a dynamic process. The REI would request that the researchers and scientists stay out of politics, and not be politicians, and that the politicians would stay out of the way of the scientists and researchers, and let them do their work, and that the politicians not pretend to be scientists.
Everybody, scientists and politicians, just do your job so that we can come up with the scientific answers that form the basis of policy.
In the meantime, as there may still be 30 years of research before there are conclusive answers. Can we "risk" 30 years of our children and our children's future, if there is a link between climate change and greenhouse gas emissions?
Simultaneously, there is a finite amount of petroleum, and many scientists and engineers believe we have well into Hubbert's "peak oil" analysis, that espouses that when 50% of domestic crude oil production has been reached, that there will be such significant upward demand on prices of the limited supplies of oil production, that the U.S. economy will experience severe economic, social, and political turmoil.
Hubbert's Peak Oil predictions were "right on" and this is validated as the U.S. in the early 1970's produced about 60% of its' oil demand and imported 40%. That equation has flipped since then, because our domestic oil production has been on the decline since 1970, so now, due to our declining domestic oil production, we have to import 60% of our oil supplies, to meet our country's oil/energy demands.
How severe our economic calamity and next "oil shock" will depend upon a number of factors, including when this occurs, as well as the following:
1. the dependence of the individual country upon its own crude oil production to meet its energy needs and to subsidize consumer imports;
2. the rate of relative decline in crude oil production;
3. the degree of difficulty encountered in replacing missing energy inputs;
4.
the degree to which our country had prepared in advance for this inevitable geological
and economic calamity.
Examples of past "oil shocks" and the economic and political
calamities that followed:
United States: Our peak crude oil production of domestic oil occurred in
1970; the first "oil shock" and oil crisis followed in 1973 with the
Arab/OPEC Oil Embargo.
Iran: Their peak crude oil production occurred in 1974; They had their islamic revolution 1979 that overturned government and replaced it with radical islam.
Soviet
Union: Their peak crude oil production
was in 1989; what happened next?
Their country disintegrated and the collapse of the Soviet Union followed in 1991.
Indonesia: Their peak crude oil production was in 1991; their financial
and government crisis followed in 1997.
Iraq: Iraq's crude oil production was in 1989; they then invaded Kuwait (for their oil) in 1991.
Using Mr. Hubbert's predictions, that beginning around 2000 we would see peak (global) oil production, then, if the country's not weaning themselves off of their oil addiction, and had not begun making the switch to renewable energy, that the negative economic and political calamities would soon follow, including ever-increasing prices of energy that is from fossil fuels.
Now
is the time to begin weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels and making the
transition to and increasing the use of renewable energy. If
you don't believe in climate change, or global warming, GREAT! Join us in the
switch to renewable energy and a fossil-free economy!
America's "Clear and Present Danger"
America
Has INCREASED its' Dependence on Foreign
Sources of Energy by 50% Since 1973. 60% of America's Energy
Supplies Now Imported from Foreign Countries
America is even more "addicted" to foreign oil today, than we were in 1973.
According to Monty Goodell, Founder and Chairman of the Renewable Energy Institute, "our increased dependence and reliance on foreign energy supplies represents a Clear and Present Danger to our national security, our economy, and the lives and livelihood of every American. Energy - including the energy we use from imported fossil fuels, is the very "lifeblood" of the American economy as it is for every industrialized country. An economy dies without it's lifeblood of energy. This Clear and Present Danger we face is far more serious than the problems related to greenhouse gas emissions. And while greenhouse gas emissions are very serious issue, in the long-term, pales in comparison to America's vital national security interests and America's economic stability in the short term. For this reason alone, America needs to transition away from its addiction to foreign energy supplies. And America's abundant renewable energy resources such as the energy we receive from the sun, and renewable energy technologies such as concentrated solar power (CSP) plants - can supply 100% of America's power requirements with a concentrating solar power plant measuring 75 miles by 75 miles, located in the Southwest U.S. By generating America's power from concentrating solar power plants, America resolves its' short-term Clear and Present Danger as it relates to importing its energy from foreign countries, and the long-term problems relating to greenhouse gas emissions."
Continuing, Mr. Goodell states that "too many Americans have forgotten what happened to us in 1973, when the Arabs and OPEC brought the United States economy to a screeching halt during the OPEC Oil Embargo. This happened because they (mainly the country of Saudi Arabia) disagreed with our foreign policy and is the reason why they "turned off the tap" of our need for their oil supplies. When Saudi Arabia and OPEC stopped the vital flow of oil to our country in 1973, they caused an "oil shock" that severely and negatively impacted our economy.
Mr. Goodell's question for us to ponder is, "do these countries who sell us 60% of our daily energy requirements, like us and our foreign policy, or might they leverage our addiction to their fossil fuels, and turn off the tap to make us adjust or revise our foreign policy?? Like any addict, America's foreign policy may be held hostage to its addiction, and in this case, our addiction to foreign oil, may over-ride our national interests."
Have
American's forgotten the gas shortages and long lines at
their gas stations to get
gas during the Arab Oil Embargo of 1973?
"Apparently so." Mr. Goodell states that "in 1973, America was 'addicted' and 'over the barrel' of foreign oil to the amount of 40%. Forty percent of our energy 'needs' in 1973 came from countries - many of which didn't like us then, and I'm afraid, many of them still don't. The difference between 1973 and today - is that today we receive 50% MORE foreign oil now than we did in 1973. And now we know about the problems relating to greenhouse gas emissions that we didn't know then. America needs to change course, and change course now, in terms of its' energy supplies and how we keep America's economy strong, without the threat of being held hostage to a middle-east tyrant or regime, that could once again, turn on us, and turn off our supply of foreign oil."
Remember
????
"
Sadly," Monty Goodell continues, " most Americans have forgotten the long lines of people waiting in their cars
- lined up and waiting
for gasoline at their nearby gas station, with lines that were many blocks
long. And, after waiting 4-5 hours, many even waiting overnight in many places, to
finally take their turn to fill up their car with gasoline, only to find that
the gas station
had run out of gas."
"Let me Repeat.... That was 1973 when we imported 40% of our daily energy requirements in the form of crude oil from overseas, and from foreign countries - and many of these from countries that don't like us.
Today, over 35 years later, America has yet to learn the lesson. We cannot continue our reliance on energy from foreign countries that supply us with 60% of the crude oil that our refineries use as a feedstock for producing gasoline and diesel fuel for our cars and trucks comes from overseas.
America is "over the barrel" and it's not our barrel, but the barrels of oil that we are addicted by and owned by other countries. Why have we not learned the lessons we needed to learn in 1973 when we were cut-off from the vital energy supplies we need?
Countries like China, are growing rapidly, and have an insatiable need for crude oil. China, with their booming economy, is increasingly growing in its clout and control over international supplies of crude oil - whether they do this through their ability to buy as much oil as they need on a daily basis, or whether they simply but American drilling rigs, technology, and explore and produce oil and gas from their own fields. China, is buying large amounts of oil for their country, and causing upward pricing on declining supplies. What happens if Russia, with all of their oil and natural gas, along with China and Venezuela, with or without the help of OPEC, decided to NOT sell oil to us????
To be sure, greenhouse gas emissions are a problem, and to some, greenhouse gas emissions are also a Clear and Present Danger, but not to the extent that it presents an imminent Clear and Present Danger.
America's reliance for 60% of our energy "needs" coming from foreign suppliers is un-acceptable.
The "driver" to get America to begin reducing and eliminating fossil fuel use should be our nation's national security and the welfare and safety of its citizens. And this can all begin with developing and investing in our own renewable energy resources and renewable energy technologies, let's start by putting solar on every rooftop that has a clear and unobstructed view of the Southern sky. See www.RooftopPV.com or www.DistributedPV.com for more information. Let's create incentives begin with adopting a national "Feed In Tariff" as Germany did in 1990.
America,
we simply do NOT have the luxury of time on our hands. We need to end our
dependence and reliance on foreign fossil fuels, especially from countries that
don't like us! We need to rapidly begin expanding renewable energy
resources and renewable
energy technologies from our vast and abundant renewable energy resources, such as; solar, solar
energy systems, solar cogeneration, solar trigeneration, "solar on every
roof," waste to energy, waste to fuel, biomass gasification, B100 Biodiesel,
Biomethane, Synthesis Gas, geothermal, E100 Ethanol (from sugar cane and NOT
from corn), and wind, where it makes economic sense."
