New energy development is the future strategic high ground.

August 1895, Edwin Drake, Lauren Chambers Colonel Titusville, Pennsylvania in the United States the use of advanced drilling tools to find oil, opened the prelude to the era of human oil consumption.Fracturing proppant 100 years later, in April 2011, U.S. President Barack Obama in Pennsylvania when you visit a wind farm in a speech, pushing the U.S. "energy independence" program, the goal is 10 years, U.S. oil imports by one third. Separated by 100 years, seemingly independent of each other two things, in fact, there is a close internal logic.

The discovery of oil for the United States 100 years to dominate the world oil market upper hand. Experienced the first time, World War II, as a major supplier of oil, the United States certainly knew about oil wars role. But in the two Iraq wars, the digital age of information technology, oil is to determine the outcome of the war is no longer the protagonist, the world will see clearly to Americans of course familiar with mystery. Over the years, oil dollar as another face, as well as the dependence on oil consumption, the United States has been moving towards cheap oil. U.S.  shale gas  revolution reduced dependence on oil consumption, while increasing oil chess Bureau diverted U.S. strategic mobility, low oil prices adversely U.S. new energy industry development, pushing up oil prices rise as China set a higher threshold, etc. . It is obvious that Obama chose the discovery of oil in Pennsylvania, choose to visit a wind farm, and speak about U.S. energy independence subtext is that oil consumption will continue, but increasingly strategic position convergence usual, new energy development strategy for the future ground. At the same time,frac sand the Chinese PV wind power for dual continuously deter speculation and offshore energy carrier channel security, pushing up the price of oil and other resource products to contain China in the oil chess Bureau of Obama's speech is a good comment.
