New Directions for U.S. Energy Policy: A Hamilton Project Forum
June 13, 2012
Stanford University
The U.S. energy system is benefiting from an unprecedented increase in North American supplies of natural gas and petroleum. These changes are strengthening our economy and altering the relationships between our energy choices and health, climate change, and national security. At the same time, there is tremendous hope that innovation in the energy sector will identify new solutions to these problems. On June 13th, The Hamilton Project at Brookings will host an event at Stanford University to explore how best to manage these opportunities while achieving our long-term energy and environmental goals.
