Peut-être que Oleocene devrait breveter l'appellation PO-RC ?
http://www.gao.gov/new.items/d07106.pdfIt is unlikely that DOE’s current level of R&D funding or the nation’s current energy policies will be sufficient to deploy alternative energy sources in the next 25 years that will reverse our growing dependence on imported oil or the adverse environmental effects of using conventional fossil energy. The United States has generally relied on market forces to determine the nation’s energy portfolio, primarily conventional supplies of oil, natural gas, coal, and nuclear energy. In contrast, advanced energy technologies have higher up-front capital costs that make them less cost competitive than conventional technologies. As a result, despite periodic energy price spikes caused by disruptive world events and about $50 billion (in real terms) in energy R&D funding since 1978, the United States has made only steady incremental progress in developing and deploying advanced renewable, coal, and nuclear technologies that can compete with conventional energy technologies. However, continued reliance on conventional technologies leaves the United States vulnerable to crude oil supply disruptions, with economic, energy security, and national security consequences.
The nation is once again assessing how best to stimulate the deployment of advanced energy technologies in response to recent high energy prices—caused by the growing world demand for energy, wars in the Middle East, and last year’s hurricanes—and concerns about the adverse environmental effects, particularly greenhouse gas emissions, of using conventional fossil energy. Reducing the nation’s dependence on oil and carbon dioxide emissions in the next 25 years is not unlike the 1960s challenge to put a man on the moon. Without sustained high energy prices or concerted, high-profile federal government leadership, U.S. consumers are unlikely to change their energy-use patterns, and the United States will continue to rely upon its current energy portfolio. Specifically, government leadership is needed to overcome technological and market barriers to deploying advanced energy technologies that would reduce the nation’s vulnerability to oil supply disruptions and the adverse environmental effects of burning fossil fuels.
mais bien Oléocène avec "PO/RC". Je vous propose de conserver cette dernière appellation.
