«Imports of liquid
fuels as a share of total U.S. liquid
fuel consumption are projected to decline to 34 percent by 2019, increasing our energy
security and limiting our
vulnerability to politically unstable oil regimes halfway around the world.

fuel project that serves to prop - up corrupt regimes that trample over human - rights, and today's tragic news of the gas explosion in Baumgarten, Austria, demonstrates that these pipelines increase danger and
vulnerability, not European energy
security.
