El senador de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, ha preparado un plan para lograr ese objetivo para 2030. Es probable que los elementos del plan sean demasiado ambiciosos o que solo puedan implementarse a costos econ\u00f3micos o ambientales inaceptables. Pero incluso si solo se pudieran poner en marcha algunas de las propuestas de Merkley, el dem\u00f3crata novato ha demostrado que las importaciones de petr\u00f3leo se pueden reducir significativamente, con las consiguientes reducciones en los desequilibrios comerciales y los riesgos geopol\u00edticos que acompa\u00f1an la sed de petr\u00f3leo extranjero de la naci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n<p>Seg\u00fan las cifras de Merkley, el 70 por ciento del petr\u00f3leo importado de Estados Unidos proviene de fuera de Am\u00e9rica del Norte. Los cuatro principales proveedores de ese petr\u00f3leo son Arabia Saudita, Nigeria, Venezuela e Irak, pa\u00edses que son represivos, inestables, hostiles o los tres. La Administraci\u00f3n de Informaci\u00f3n de Energ\u00eda federal proyecta importaciones de 8,36 millones de barriles de petr\u00f3leo por d\u00eda para 2030. Merkley cree que con una campa\u00f1a agresiva para hacer que el sistema de transporte de la naci\u00f3n sea m\u00e1s eficiente y menos dependiente del petr\u00f3leo, se puede eliminar la necesidad de la mayor\u00eda de las importaciones de petr\u00f3leo, incluso todas las importaciones desde fuera de Am\u00e9rica del Norte.<\/p>\n<p>El enfoque de Merkley en la eficiencia es especialmente atractivo. Se pueden lograr muchas ganancias en eficiencia sin el desarrollo de nuevas tecnolog\u00edas o la instalaci\u00f3n de costosas nuevas infraestructuras energ\u00e9ticas. Por ejemplo, los camiones queman un gal\u00f3n de combustible para mover una tonelada de carga 155 millas. Los trenes usan un gal\u00f3n de combustible para mover la misma tonelada de carga 413 millas. Para barcazas, son 576 toneladas-milla por gal\u00f3n. Hacer que el transporte por ferrocarril y barcazas est\u00e9 disponible para m\u00e1s cargadores, y alentarlos a hacer el cambio, podr\u00eda ahorrar 1,75 millones de barriles de petr\u00f3leo por d\u00eda, estima Merkley.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"javascript:openWin('http:\/\/www.registerguard.com\/csp\/cms\/sites\/web\/opinion\/24925901-47\/merkley-oil-energy-efficiency-imports.csp');\">Leer m\u00e1s -&gt;<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Every president since Richard Nixon has embraced the goal of energy independence for the United States.
