Several governments around the World are applied ¨green initiatives¨ to looking for a sustainable development for its countries and some of them have introduced an emissions trading schemes, (for example the Europeans countries) on the other hand its economies requires new tools to be competitive and build a healthy energy supply.

Across the Atlantic Ocean the developing countries from The Americas (like Colombia, Brasil and Mexico) are looking another kind of sustainable schemes, through projects called Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) offering to foreign companies to invest in its heavy industry and energy sector, to generate emission credits; these credits can be marketed and eventually counted against a developed country’s emission obligation

However, I think, we need to take care, because is not enough to have a good relation between a competitive economy and energy security with a climate change policy, because currently the World Economy have some problems, and on the other hand the ¨green initiatives¨ are expensive have a high costs.

For the next year we could wait to have oil prices around $100USD a barrel. The World Order, need a better dialogue between producers and consumers countries. ¿ What kind of leaders and policymakers, we have? So ¨almost¨, we need a new manner of meeting between IEA and OPEC.

The Americans have a lot of the best ¨Think Tanks¨ from the world, that examine oil demand and supply projections but no one the final solution to change the U.S. oil dependence.

The current policy of oil dependence have a important effects is the U.S. economy and security. The United States of America requires a important quantity of oil to its economy, but everybody know that the world experiment The End of Cheap Oil. For this reason, the United States of America in the last few years has shown to be quite resistant to strong oil pricing, in other words, the American citizens have a George pledges results for Iraq, Bush Defends its strategy to ‘Complete the Mission‘ in Iraq, but there are a lot of problems to build a political dialogue with the people from Democratic Party and some people from its own party (Republican Party), if George Walter Bush´s Administration don’t make a superior plan to quickly accomplish its ocuppation in Iraq, like a result we going to have a serious impact on the U.S. economy.

The most of the countries are affected when the the U.S. economy cannot continue to grow at rates well above any estimate of potential growth, especially when unemployment is so low combined with high oil prices. The weekly report Wednesday by the U.S. Energy Department’s Energy Information Administration said crude oil supplies fell 7.1 million barrels in the week ended Sept. 7, more than twice the average 2.7 million-barrel decline analysts surveyed by Dow Jones Newswires had expected**.

Some countries are applying an alternative energy policy to fight with the oil dependence, but is difficult to find and after develop the acceptable answer to this kind of challenge, this kind of energy dependence.

In my point of view, a better answer is not simply talk about change only to use biodiesel, wind, soil, wave, solar, etc … or another green energy.. nobody has the final energy solution, But, an acceptable answer for the energy security is to build an appropriated harmony from our supplies and kind of energy. This harmony will be different for each country and regions. The harmony need be enhanced from the International Energy Agency.

That’s my opinion!
