Abstract


In spite of the great offer of different energetic resources
that exist in America, be these hydrocarbons or sources or not
traditional of renewable energy and the threat that represents the
climate change for the inhabitants of the hemisphere, the results obtained
in Summit of the Americas that was celebrated in Cartagena
of Indias, Colombia, in April, 2012, recounted to the promotion of
the energetic safety and concrete goals to attack the climate change
were slightly productive. It called the attention the lack of leadership
demonstrated by the North American government, despite having
proposed an Alliance of Energy and Climate of the Americas
(AECA) in the previous Summit that was celebrated in Trinidad in
2009. The article highlights some concrete projects that might be
carried out under the AECA if there were major interest and promoting
actions carried out by the most influential governments in the
Western Hemisphere.
