The 2008 Energy IQ Survey

Test Your Energy IQHow many of the 10 largest oil and natural gas companies are owned and operated by foreign governments?  If you answered all ten, you’re correct.

API and Harris Interactive have released the findings of the 2008 Energy IQ. The annual survey of U.S. energy knowledge illustrated that Americans are more informed about key energy issues than they were one year ago.  For instance, more than half the respondents correctly answered that we will need between 16 and 20% more energy between now and 2030. However, some misperceptions remain; respondents underestimated the amount of energy produced in North America.

API has compiled some of the most frequently heard claims and proposals, along with the realities that need to be considered when evaluating them.
