Turning Oil Into Salt by Gal Luft
Throughout history the pursuit of strategic commodities has governed world affairs. Centuries ago salt enjoyed a monopoly over food preservation, and securing access to the white mineral shaped the great empires' international behavior. Today, it is oil that monopolizes our transportation system giving those who control it inordinate power on the world stage. Breaking the oil cartel and oil's monopoly over transportation fuel is the only way to bring about energy independence, insulate our economy against future oil shocks and win the war on radical Islam, argue two of America's leading energy security advocates Gal Luft and Anne Korin in Turning Oil into Salt: Energy Independence Through Fuel Choice. Energy independence is not about the amount of oil we use or import; it's about turning oil from a strategic commodity second to none to just another commodity. In an unvarnished and lucid manner Luft and Korin chart a realistic way to do so while addressing the barriers on the road.GAL LUFT and ANNE KORIN are co-directors of the Institute for the Analysis of Global Security (IAGS) a Washington based think tank focused on energy security. They specialize in strategy, geopolitics, terrorism, energy security and economic warfare. They have published numerous studies and articles on security and energy issues in various newspapers and publications, testified before congressional committees and advised think tanks and news organizations worldwide.
