Research On Obama's New Energy Policy

Energy is not only important for human development and social progress,which is also related to national security.With the increasing of competition for energy resource all over the world,international oil crisis erupts repeatedly.Energy wars have drawn much attention in worldwide.The United States,which is one of the largest energy output and consumption countries in the world,should do much more research and seek measurement to get over it.Obama determines the clean energy as the fundamental direction of energy development as long as he took over the government.Obama's new energy policy gives hope for the American energy independence,and also breaks the traditional pattern of world energy.His adjustment to energy policy has set basic direction for the future energy development to certain extent.This paper makes prediction for the future development of American energy on the basis of the evolution on American energy policy and the background of new energy policy during the administration of Obama government,and also discusses about how China should think about the new energy policy proposed by Obama through combing his own situation when resolving problems of energy development.The whole paper is divided into the following five sections:The first part describes the formation and evolution of the American energy strategy.From the initial energy market to the government intervention regulating the energy market,from the lack of legal regulation for energy to the improvement step by step,in the past four decades,the American presidents have made much effort for energy independence in their work.From Nixon to current Obama,these presidents applied specific energy policy according to the situation of America.The second part introduces the implementation of new energy by new Obama government.President Obama has been trying to focus on the energy industry,applying a variety of energy policy.He is always insisting the general direction of energy independence policy.Many policies,which are encountered with a lot of resistance in the process of implementation,cannot be applied efficiently.However,the introduction of energy policy still has brought changes to the energy produce in America.The third part describes the formation of the Obama administration's new energy policy,including the background on the formation of the Obama administration's energy policy as well as the content and characteristics.The President Barack Obama was born in the financial crisis.His energy policy is a response to the financial crisis.However,what exist behind economy crisis are the international oil prices and oil reserves dominating the global energy market.When confronted with the world energy market,Obama set the clean energy program as a strategic priority.In the process of applying policies,Obama should also take the domestic energy reserves and the new energy development into consideration.In terms of the development of shale gas,shale oil exploration and development of clean energy,the Obama administration's energy policy is a success.The fourth part describes the impact of the Obama administration's energy policy and future trends.Obama's new energy policy for the United States has great impact on the world's energy situation.The future of energy policy in the United States tends toward a cleaner and more energy-efficient direction.The fifth part describes what China can learn from the new energy policy.Throughout the history of energy legislation in the United States,China can learn much from such a country who transforms himself from relying on energy import to being self-sufficient.China should propose related energy policy according to his own situation and development.
