Energy Policy in Light of a New President & Congress

Energy issues and Catastrophic Climate Change are a major focus for the incoming Obama Administration and many in the newly sworn in 111th Congress. What paths might the Administration and Congress take in these arenas? What might be the implications for the Department of Defense and the Federal Government in the near and long term? Where and how can collaboration with business, academia, media & NGOs help focus efforts for the common good?

On January 12, at our new location, the L'Enfant Plaza Hotel, The Energy Conversation had a chance to explore these issues with Joel Beauvais, a senior policy staff member of the House Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming. David Hawkins, Director of Climate Programs at the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC) provided comments as well. It was great event, and members were excited about the new location.
