Economic Prosperity and Fossil Fuels

September 2009 By Robert Shoup

The economic prosperity of the United States, and for that matter, your own personal quality of life, depends on reliable access to low-cost energy. If you are not sure of the validity of that statement, simply imagine your life without energy. No air conditioning, no travel, no imported goods, no plastics. Assuming that a life without those things is not what you want, then it is very important that you understand the real nature of the energy you depend on because the media is not telling you.

Part 1 of this series will examine each of three fossil fuels, coal, natural gas, and oil. We will illustrate how we use it, where we get it from, and its likely impact to our economy in light of growing global competition for energy.
