Ambien 10 Mg Price One of the catch-phrases President Obama didn’t use in his much parsed<\/a> Oval Office speech<\/a> on Tuesday was energy security<\/em>. He did, however, make a glancing, split-second reference when discussing the costs associated with a transition from fossil fuels to a clean energy economy (emphasis added):<\/p>\n

And there are some who believe that we can’t afford those costs right now. I say we can’t afford not to change how we produce and use energy -“\u201c because the long-term costs to our economy, Order Tramadol Online our national security<\/strong>, and our environment are far greater.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://disneycruisinggroup.com/cruise-cancellation/ Obama’s reluctance to mention energy security in his speech strikes me as odd, considering how the term has become a central plank in his Administration’s energy policy and also a popular new Democratic talking point, which Michael Levi, an energy expert, notes in this recent Foreign Policy piece<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Buy Klonopin Online Overnight That two-word phrase — “energy security” — is an idea invoked frequently by everyone from oil company executives to green-energy proponents, and one that has taken center stage in the United States since the Gulf spill. Last week, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar cited<\/a> energy security in explaining the need to continue drilling in the outer continental shelf. Senators John Kerry and Joseph Lieberman have argued<\/a> that their new clean energy and climate bill will help the United States achieve energy security. Obama’s new National Security Strategy<\/a>, published last month, invokes energy security no fewer than four times.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That Obama didn’t talk about energy security in his Oval Office address perhaps owes to the main point of Levi’s FP article<\/a>, which is reflected in the subhead:<\/p>\n

Politicians, oilmen, and green-energy boosters love to invoke the idea of energy security. None of them know what they’re talking about.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Order Klonopin Online Levi includes himself in this clueless category. Earlier this week on his own blog at the Council on Foreign Relations, he wrote<\/a>:<\/p>\n

https://dentalprovidence.com/implants/ The phrase “energy security”\u009d is on my business card, yet whenever anyone uses it, I scratch my head.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

https://andiroberts.com/emotional-intelligence/ I admire this humble tone from an energy scholar. Levi’s forthright attitude echoes the refreshing openness that a number of leading environmental security experts exhibited on this site during an excellent thread<\/a> on the equally squishy climate security<\/em> term.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
