Reduce Oil Dependence Costs: “Nearly 40% of the oil we use is imported, costing us roughly $300 billion annually. Increased domestic oil production from shale formations and improved fuel economy standards have decreased oil imports over the past few years, but the U.S. Department of Energy projects that we will continue to rely on imports for 35% to 40% of our petroleum needs in the future.” This is interesting. The rate of oil imports is…
The Energy Quiz | ExxonMobil: Try the energy Quiz from ExxonMobil: exxonmobil.com/quiz It has 4 categories related to energy: people, sources, uses and savings. There are 5 questions in each section.
