Oil Storms

U.S. Oil Policy Simulation
What would it take to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil?

After Saudi Arabia, the U.S. is the second largest oil producer in the world. But the United States also happens to be the largest consumer of oil. Oil consumption in the United States and Canada is almost three gallons per person per day, twice as high as in Europe. As a consequence more than 50% of U.S. oil must be imported. These oil imports are expensive and have complex political and security consequences.
What would it take to reduce United States dependence on foreign oil?
In this SIMULATION, you are elected President of the United States on a platform of reducing U.S. dependence on oil imports. How will you achieve your goals? You decide on initiatives that include everything from opening oil fields in Alaska to mandating improved fuel efficiency of new vehicles. Then you write a speech to the American people outlining your policies. The simulation shows if you were able to achieve your goals by 2020.
Good luck!
