The Role Of SUVs In The Terrorism Problem

Laptop Battery The single most effective thing the United States could do to decrease dependence on foreign oil, and thus increase national security, would be to make cars more fuel-efficient, energy experts said Wednesday.

According to the indictment, Jones would steal various IBM and Penguin computer servers from Verisign's warehouse in Virginia and sell them to Johnson. Johnson would then sell the servers to several individuals, who would sometimes place them for sale on eBay. As a result of this scheme, the indictment alleges that Jones and Johnson caused Verisign to lose more than $120, 000 worth of computer equipment. In the indictment, Jones and Johnson are charged in three counts with causing the interstate transportation of stolen property, namely IBM 330 and 335 servers, in violation of 18 U.S.C.

Thinkpad The Sept. 11 terrorist attacks have heightened concern about U.S. dependence on foreign oil, especially oil from the Middle East. Republican members of Congress this week called for quick passage of energy legislation focused on increasing domestic energy supplies, especially drilling for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska and public lands elsewhere in the country.

Microsoft While energy experts generally favor increased drilling on public lands, the consensus opinion appears to be that no matter how far Congress is willing to go in opening more land to drilling, increases in drilling will never make a meaningful difference to national security.

There he held multiple roles, from overseeing the company worldwide competitive and server sales to leading sales, services, marketing and channel operations for IBM software business in Asia Pacific. During this time he resided in Tokyo, Japan.

Laptop Computers ''No matter what we do in terms of increasing domestic supply it's not going to tangibly change our dependence on sources of imported oil,'' said Edward Morse, who was deputy assistant secretary for energy policy at the State Department during the Carter and Reagan administrations. ''There is just not enough (economically recoverable oil) in North America to make a difference.

laptop computers is driving strong sales for notebook computers, according to the latest quarterly sales figures from the research firm IDC, which reported a 37% computer sales for the second quarter, compared with a year earlier. In the U.S., laptop sales grew 17.7%, while sales of desktop computers and servers fell 4%. The New York Times ( 10), CNET ( 10)

Laptop Computer ''So we will be 45 percent dependent instead of 52 percent dependent (if drilling is increased). When push comes to shove, that doesn't mean very much.''

Desktop Computer The world consumes nearly 77 million barrels of oil a day, of which the United States accounts for about 11 million barrels. About 17 million daily barrels come from the Persian Gulf, and that share is forecast to increase to 34 million barrels by 2020.

Notebooks More than 60 percent of all the oil used by the United States is consumed by the transportation sector - primarily cars, trucks and aircraft - and that percentage is growing.

Lenovo ''The big number (in reducing energy dependence) is in the parking lot of every supermarket in the country - it's the sports utility vehicle,'' said Philip Verlenger, an independent petroleum economist in Newport Beach, Calif.

Hard Drive SUVs, minivans and light trucks now account for nearly 50 percent of all vehicles sold. Federal fuel economy standards require that cars sold average 27.5 miles per gallon, but SUVs and other light trucks only need to average 21.7 mpg.

Travelstar One reason for terrorist leader Osama bin Laden's antagonism toward the United States is that it deployed troops to Saudi Arabia in 1991 to fight Iraq after Saddam Hussein invaded Kuwait, Verlenger noted.

Gateway ''We didn't go in there because Saudi Arabia is a big banana producing country ... It was our insatiable thirst for oil, our 11 million barrels a day for our SUVs, that really ultimately was the catalyst for this crisis,'' said Verlenger, a member of the National Petroleum Council, which advises the government on energy policy.

Laptop Parts ''I think the reason we need to reduce our oil dependence is so that we don't have to say pretty please to Saudi Arabia when we want to retaliate against the murder of 7,000 people,'' Verlenger said. ''We are now tiptoeing around all the oil producing states saying we want to go into Afghanistan, these people did this dastardly act, will you let us? That means we are buying too much oil from them.''

Software Another reason energy efficiency needs to be aggressively pursued is that it is likely to yield greater results faster than drilling for oil, experts said. Even if Congress were to lift the ban on drilling in the Arctic refuge today, it would take an estimated seven to 10 years for oil from the refuge to reach consumers.

Hard Drives And there are no guarantees how much oil will be found. ''You don't know if you drill whether there will be 800,000 barrels a day, 1 million barrels a day, or nothing,'' said Morse, who is now with the Hess Energy Trading Co. in New York. ''You do know that if you put in (fuel economy) standards on SUVs you will get the 1 million barrels of oil per day savings in a reasonable time horizon like five to seven years.''

Electronics A recent report on strategic energy policy by the Council on Foreign Relations and the Institute for Public Policy at Rice University concluded that: ''With the energy bill in the Senate still pending, the administration should push hard for adoption of substantially stricter (fuel economy) standards.''

Canon Tax credits for super fuel efficient cars and a phased-in increase in the gas tax beginning in about three to five years are other possible solutions, Verlenger said.

Desktop Pc The United States also ought to substantially increase the amount of oil stored in the Strategic Petroleum Reserves in case of a national emergency, energy experts said.
