With 3 percent of the world's resources and 25 percent of the world's demand, it is pretty obvious this country cannot drill its way to energy security.

I have been working for years to promote a responsible energy policy that works to increase energy efficiency and invest in alternative and renewable energy sources.

When you start to think about energy security, you must discuss global energy security, because there is no other type.

We've started working out systemic long-term measures for strengthening energy security, as set down in the presidential decree of 27 December 2005, which envisages an integrated approach to this issue.

In reality drilling is the slowest, dirtiest, and most expensive way to solve our energy crisis.

Energy is an issue of national security in which governments, and the state companies that they have established, are likely to be involved for a long time.
