US Energy Secretary Seeks Alternatives to Oil

摘要

US Energy Secretary Ernest Moniz said Wednesday that the federal government is focusing on a "three-pronged" approach to lowering oil dependence as it seeks to reinforce the decline in oil imports seen in recent years. The Department of Energy (DOE) is emphasizing improvements in the fuel efficiency of automobiles and an expansion of next-generation biofuels and electric vehicles (EVs), Moniz said (OD Oct.25'13).
