The United States is both a major consumer of geologically based energy resources from around the world and - increasingly of late - a developer of its own energy resources. Understanding the national and global availability of those resources as well as the environmental impacts of their development is essential for strategic decision making related to the nation's energy mix. The U.S. Geological Survey Energy Resources Program is charged with providing unbiased and publicly available national- and regional-scale assessments of the location, quantity, and quality of geologically based energy resources and with undertaking research related to their development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the request of the Energy Resources Program (ERP), this publication considers the nation's geologically based energy resource challenges in the context of current national and international energy outlooks. \u003ci\u003eFuture Directions for the U.S. Geological Survey's Energy Resources Program\u003c\/i\u003e examines how ERP activities and products address those challenges and align with the needs federal and nonfederal consumers of ERP products.
