The sudden surge in population has resulted in a dearth in energy supply all over the world. Approximately every four months, there are energy blackouts in America that affects half a million homes. Blackouts in America cause not only hospitals and television stations to black out, but also those other things such as elevators, trains, and traffic lights. Water treatment and pumping water to reservoirs requires electricity. Almost everything that makes our life comfortable depends on electricity, and energy blackouts in America will affect the normalcy of every person on the continent.
The frequency of large energy blackouts in America has exponentially increased in the coming years especially during the peak hours of the day. These blackouts can last for approximately a week and affect the public welfare and health of the people living in America. The lack of energy can affect the quality of life of every single person in America. The primary causes of energy blackouts in America are due to the use of energy resources for long distance transfers. This in turn affects the availability of the lines, increasing the risk for blackouts. There is an insufficient management of systems of the electricity network, and inadequate investments in the transmission infrastructure. The protective systems were also poorly aligned, which affected the reliability of the energy supply. All these factors combined, are the main causes the primary causes for energy blackouts in America.
Natural storms, human errors and mechanical failures also contribute to triggering an energy blackout.
The effect of energy blackouts in America also has a large impact on the social costs – there are heavy losses incurred for every blackout. While the frequency of blackouts has definitely not decreased, the frequencies increase during the late summer and late-winter months. This shows that blackout trends changes with the time of the year.
The technological improvements have definitely reduced the number of energy blackouts in America, even if they have not decreased the frequency of them. The energy crisis forces people to consider alternative means of power – such as solar or wind energy. Given the lack of guarantee of the prolonged supply, renewable energy sources are one way for Americans to avoid this energy crisis from hitting them hard.
The energy blackouts in America have begun to encourage people to conserve the energy, and support the development of alternative sources of power that are renewable and more abundant in supply.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
John Hofmeister, former President of the Shell Oil Company, has passionately devoted himself to informing his fellow Americans that the nation is capable of producing more than enough energy. He has founded and serves as the CEO of the non-profit organization Citizens for Affordable Energy and has written a book entitled Why We Hate the Oil Companies: Straight Talk From an Energy Insider (Palgrave MacMillan, 2010).
Concerned about the economic problems caused by the high prices of oil and stating that America is mortgaging its future by not taking advantage of its own resources, Hofmeister states that America can produce affordable energy that can be generated in an environmentally-friendly manner. Outlining some basic principles he calls The Four Mores, he provides solutions that can reverse the course of the country’s struggle to keep up with the growing demands for energy by using:
The compelling message Hofmeister is sharing in his book doesn’t involve developing entirely new systems, but rather stresses that changes can be made in the energy-generating systems that are already in use. Hofmeister believes that embracing these strategies will keep America from sliding into what he calls “The Energy Abyss”.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
President Obama announced on March 31st, 2010 that America has just made “the largest investment in clean energy in our nation’s history. It’s an investment that’s expected to create or save more than 700,000 jobs across America . . .”. There are different methods in the President’s energy-producing plan, not just drilling for oil and natural gas. But the President revealed that his administration will be expanding the nation’s offshore oil and natural gas exploration. The President assured the nation that, “we’ll employ new technologies that reduce the impact of oil exploration. We’ll protect areas that are vital to tourism, the environment, and our national security.”
Offshore drilling is just one component of the plan to help create more clean energy, stating the American economy will be better off in the long run when the nation becomes more energy efficient. He further stated the military is beginning to develop vehicles that run on hybrid fuels.
John Hofmeister, the former President of Shell Oil and CEO of the group Citizens for Affordable Energy, has stated that President Obama’s plan for offshore drilling may be a good thing for the nation but more scientific analysis of potential sites are needed. Citing the drilling restriction on much of the outer continental shelf, he said the industry has been prohibited for thirty years from exploring just how much oil the United States may actually have. However, stating the difference between proven oil reserves and probable reserves, Hofmeister said, “Probable reserves are in the hundreds of billions . . . of barrels in [the] United States of America . . .We’re sending a mis-signal to the American people about how much oil we actually have.”
Hofmeister states that there is no steady policy on offshore drilling, and the fact that policy changes every few years disrupt the years-long process of building up a system to produce major energy sources. Hofmeister said, “My main interest these days is the affordability of energy . . . and the only way to get affordability assured in the energy space is to produce more energy.”
