Shock and Oil: Where Military Concerns Meet Consumer, Climate Crises
Select Committee Hearing Talks to Oil “War Games” Experts, Highlights America’s Oil Dependence Problem
Tomorrow the Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming will host military and energy experts to examine how a major disruption in oil supply could affect the economy and America’s national security. With near $100 oil and rising gasoline and heating oil costs, America is already teetering on the verge of a major economic crisis. Last week, several energy and military experts came together to hold a “war game” exercise on the geopolitical effects of an oil crisis, called “Oil Shockwave”. Testifying before the committee will be the former head of the EPA, Carol Browner, who was a participant in the oil war game, along with the former Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command, Admiral Dennis Blair, who observed the oil shock exercise and is involved in energy security issues.
