DISCUSSION BETWEEN ENERGY AVAILABILITY AND ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES, 1980-2016
Main Article Content
Abstract
The core of the discussion for Energy Security (ES) has been the oil market, however, the inclusion of environmental issues has led to a complex analysis of the strategies to be implemented to guarantee ES, especially for countries with high consumption of fossils and few or not oil reserves like the United States. The document proposes three indexes — oil, diversification and environmental — to evaluate the US SE between 1980 and 2016. The document concludes that
according to the current SE vision, improvements in the SE can only be obtained if there is an increase in renewable energies, because the increase in the consumption of fossil fuels (especially gas) does not allow a transition to a holistic SE vision.
