FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE



Zogby National Poll on U.S. Oil Import Dependence

to be Unveiled at American Energy Security Summit



On Monday, April 16, 2007 at 10:45 am, Mr. John Zogby will unveil the results of a national telephone opinion poll on U.S. imported oil dependence and domestic alternative fuel production being conducted by his respected organization, Zogby International. Mr. Zogby will present this information at the American Energy Security Summit being held at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria, Virginia from April 16 through the 18th.



The Zogby poll will query a representative cross-section of Americans about their opinions on timely energy topics including: dependence on foreign nations for about 60% of America's oil requirements; the level of voter support for increased production of alternative fuels from American resources: and, how aggressive should government policies be to help establish greater domestic oil security and independence.



Members of industry, government, the media, and the general public are all invited to attend the American Energy Security Summit. Registration is free to the press and to U.S. senators and representatives and their staff, and affordably priced for others. Presentations start at 10am on Monday, April 16. For more information see: www.americanenergysecurity.org/summit.html



The American Energy Security Summit is being hosted by West Virginia Governor Joe Manchin, who is also chairman of the Southern States Energy Board (SSEB). The SSEB is leading the American Energy Security initiative, a national effort to substantially reduce America's dependence on imported oil by producing more domestic liquid fuels from American coal, biomass, oil shale, and from mature U.S. oil fields using CO2 injection and sequestration.
