Energy, Security & the Long War of the 21st Century

Speaker: 
James Woolsey, former Director of the CIA
Event Date: 
Monday, March 27, 2006 - 5:30pm - 8:30pm


Energy is now seen as a national issue. As President Bush said in his State of the Union address, only by applying "the talent and technology of America," can the nation really begin to grapple with the fundamental issues that underlay our national addiction to oil. The Department of Defense is the single largest buyer of fuel in the US (1.7%) and therefore has an opportunity to help direct an effort towards energy efficiency, conservation and cost reduction.

Averting a Liquid Fuel Crisis From Peak Oil

Speaker: 
Congressman Roscoe Bartlett
Dr. Robert Hirsch, SAIC
Event Date: 
Monday, April 24, 2006 - 5:30pm - 8:30pm

Congressman Roscoe Bartlett and Dr. Robert Hirsch presented background and lead a discussion about peak oil and its ramifications for liquid fuels that are vital for transportation worldwide and the feedstock for plastics, pharmaceuticals and other essentials. The era of plentiful, low-cost conventional oil is approaching an end because production will soon reach its maximum capacity – a peak. Most experts predict peak within this decade or the next. Peak will impose a sudden limit on the supply of a commodity that is essential to the functioning of the world economy.

Twilight in the Desert

Speaker: 
Matt Simmons, Author & Peak Oil Expert
Event Date: 
Tuesday, June 20, 2006 - 5:30pm - 8:30pm

With over 260 billion barrels of proven oil reserves, a quarter of the world's total, Saudi Arabia is not only the top foreign supplier to the world's largest energy consumer – the United States -- but also essentially the sole source of liquidity in the world oil market. According to the Department of Energy's Energy Information Administration (EIA), the world will become more dependent upon Saudi Arabian oil in the next two decades. To meet global demand for oil, Saudi Arabia will need to produce 13.6 million barrels a day (mbd) by 2010 and 19.5 mbd by 2020.

Biofuels - Potential National Implications

Speaker: 
Dr. Michael A. Pacheo, National Renewable Energy Lab
Suzanne Hunt, Worldwatch Institute
Event Date: 
Monday, July 17, 2006 - 5:30pm - 8:30pm

Biomass derived from plants or animal waste is a renewable source of energy. Liquid biofuels for transportation such as biodiesel, methanol, or ethanol can be produced from biomass. Heat can be obtained by reprocessing organic waste. There are disputes concerning the potential for biomass to replace petroleum and other fossil fuels as a sustainable source of energy and also about the environmental impacts of energy from biomass.
