The Southern States Energy Board (SSEB) is commissioning a major study to help guide the United States toward energy security, freedom, and independence. This study will focus on the rapid development of an alternative oil and liquid fuels production base in America utilizing our vast domestic resources of coal, oil shale, and biomass. It will also emphasize the need for greatly increased United States transportation fuel efficiency, sensible conservation, and improved domestic oil recovery programs emphasizing CO2-enhanced recovery and sequestration.
