"With 3 percent of the world's resources and 25 percent of the world's demand, it is pretty obvious this country cannot drill its way to energy security"
- Lois Capps
About this Quote
In this quote, Lois Capps is highlighting the imbalance between the amount of resources offered and the quantity of need for those resources in the world. She specifies that while the United States only has access to 3 percent of the world's resources, it is accountable for 25 percent of the world's need for those resources. This develops a clear disparity and makes it clear that just increasing drilling and extraction efforts within the country will not lead to true energy security. Rather, Capps suggests that a more sustainable and balanced technique is required to address the concern of energy security.
