is a priority for the governments of many foreign countries and increasingly

depends on the political will of these producing states. Competition between
governments for access to oil and natural gas reserves can lead to economic,
political, and armed conflict. Oil exporting states have received dramatically
increased revenues due to high global prices, enhancing the ability of some of

Hemisphere is a strategic priority for reducing the potential for tension over

between governments on energy issues will enhance bilateral relationships among
countries of the hemisphere. The Western Hemisphere is rich in natural

opportunity for production of renewable hydro, solar, wind, and other energies.
