The Hill, August 18, 2011 "The Strategic Energy Choices We Need to Make"
The Hill's Congress Blog published Andrew's Op-Ed on why America needs a better vocabulary when discussing our long-term energy policy.
The key point is: "The problem is that we do not have a political vocabulary for how to debate and discuss these choices. Policymakers too often make arguments about energy based on which will ‘sell’. But these challenges cannot be met by sound-bites. These are important decisions requiring an informed and wide-ranging debate – not trench warfare over small issues."

Fuel efficiency: Will new rules cure US addiction to foreign oil? The Christian Science Monitor, July 29, 2011
Mark Clayton quotes Andrew in his article on whether the newly-agreed auto fuel standard increase would help American energy security. He quotes Andrew's blog post. The entire section is below:
Energy-security experts praised the new agreement as key to reducing America's reliance on foreign oil.
"This is a big deal," Andrew Holland, senior fellow with the American Security Project, a bipartisan public-policy and research organization, wrote on his blog. "It is important that the United States as a whole uses less oil because the sheer volume of oil imports harms American competitiveness and drives down the value of the dollar.
"The US spent at least $680 billion on oil imports in 2010, he writes. Without those imports, the US trade deficit of $497 billion in 2010 "would not have existed.” He continues, “That capital could be used for investment at home, and the export of that capital had the effect of driving down the value of the dollar."
