Economic self-sufficiency

Support for economic self-sufficiency, a national language and national education, as keys to creating prosperity for the new national identity. 

The project turned out to be uneconomical it was much more expensive to make gasoline from coal than from imported oil. But Nazi officials came to its aid. Hitler wanted Germany to be economically self-sufficient, and Nazi officials may already have been planning for wars to come. When war came, Leuna delivered gasoline fuel for the German blitzkrieg. 

American programmes for income security emerging from the Great Depression had as core themes economic self-sufficiency and the maintenance of individual dignity. During the course of the twentieth century, rules evolved for cash public assistance to the needy, temporary income support for the jobless, hiring incentives for employers, and employment incentives for workers. 

Choose fair trade Fairly traded goods ensure that growers get a fair price for their produce, enabling them to gain economic self-sufficiency and security. 

Similar findings on dairy farms in Canada were reported by Stonehouse, et al. (2001). The superior economic performance on organic dairy farms was attributed to lower costs of production for almost all material inputs, including dairy herd replacements and livestock feeds. The organic dairy farmers used more land for feed crop production for the dairy cows in order to be as self-sufficient as possible. The conventional dairy farmers imported crop seeds, synthetic chemical fertilisers and pesticides, feedstuffs and herd replacements, with more of their land being devoted to cash crops. 

Yet if Krauch was to head a raw-materials office, publicized in glowing releases as the agency to make Germany at last self-sufficient economically, why was his remaining Farben contact military And why was the Vermittlungstelle Wehrmacht a secret office whose mail came addressed simply "Berlin Northwest 7" ... 

Hydrogen has a unique role in a secure energy future for the United States. The U.S. could be energy self-sufficient with hydrogen, ensuring our national stability from an energy security, supply, and economic perspective. 

Before the rise of Germany s synthetic petroleum industry in the mid-thirties, a shortage of liquid fuel seriously threatened her economic and social well-being. If such a situation should repeat itself in the United States, a synthetic fuels program could contribute towards American self-sufficiency in energy. 

Phenolic adhesives continue to be the most significant adhesives for the production of weather-resistant wood products. The energy crisis of the seventies, the cost of phenol, and the inevitable decline in petroleum reserves have caused the wood industry to focus attention on obtaining adhesive self-sufficiency (1). This concern arises primarily from the questionable longterm availability of resins and secondarily from the economics of adhesive resin use. Ready availability of adhesive resins is critical to the manufacture of bonded wood products. In practical terms, this means that new adhesive systems are needed in which part, or perhaps all, of the petroleum-derived phenolic component is replaced... 

Secondly, this alternative energy source makes the energy supply of the ethanol-and PHA production independent of the availability of limited feedstocks such as fossil fuels. This energetic self-sufficiency makes the process economically more profitable [27, 56]. Figure 2 shows a scheme of the entire process. 

The LFTB concluded, on the basis of these studies, that the Mobil process provided a more economic and efficient method of producing synthetic fuel than did Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. The Board also concluded that it was not possible for New Zealand to reach 50 percent self-sufficiency in transport fuels by the middle 1980 s without synthetic fuel. With only condensate, CNG and LPG a realistic comparable goal would be about 25 percent self-sufficiency.
