AJC Energy Poll - February 2012
| We thank all of our poll participants for engaging with us in a discussion on the most effective way to reduce U.S. dependence on oil from hostile countries. |

AJC has long believed that the development of a comprehensive U.S. energy program is essential to the economic and social well-being of our country, our national security and the continuance of our broad role in world affairs.
The United States must set as a primary national goal a comprehensive energy policy aimed at a substantial reduction in U.S. dependence on imported oil, with the potential for energy flexibility and near independence in the longer term. Such a policy should encompass:
- vast increases in vehicle fuel efficiency
- a reduction in wasteful energy consumption
- increases in domestic supplies with appropriate attention to environmental safeguards
- further diversification of foreign oil sources
- development and commercialization of alternative sources of energy.
