Donald S asked:


I become suspicious about rhetoric that USA energy prices would be lower and we could wean ourselves from foreign oil sources should there be more exploration, drilling, and extraction within our boundaries.
If there is an energy security policy then please link it.
In my view, prices will never lower mostly because of the influence of energy businesses on politics, powerful speculators, and the global market. For instance, even though gas demand has dropped in the USA, prices are still soaring. Another thing is that there simply aren’t enough reserves to fuel even our reduced demands for very long. Regardless, I believe that the oil extracted within the USA would be sold on the global market and not be kept for the use of our nation.
Thanks for your responses.

I just saw the special, “We were warned: Out of gas.” If terrorists destroyed oil installations in Saudia Arabia then how would it affect the USA economy? Has the USA taken measures to protect its economy from an oil, supply, disruption?

I am a student in Economics Class and We have one week for this project. We were given different countries per student and I got Austria. I need to research on the following:

What is its present political and social conditions?
What is its history in terms of politics, social conditions and economics?
How are economic decisions made?
How are economic problems solved?
What kind of economic system does Austria have? Support through data.

Is there anyone here who is an Austrian? Can I interview you?
It will be easier and even more factual if I’ll be able to ask these to someone who is an Austrian by citizenship.

Thank you for those who will respond.

China lowers the international value of its currency so that its exports are super-cheap! The USA used to have currency backed by gold (see the Bretton Woods Agreements) but now market fundamentals MAY finally be catching up with the USA. (Maybe. Maybe not.) Exporting more than we import would certainly help the economy in the long term.
