Our Energy Futures (July 2 - 5)
Sponsored by Chevron
Concerns about increased prices at the pump and at home, intensified by political unrest in other parts of the world, have put energy issues into heightened focus for the American public. How does the US adjust its ravenous energy appetite to the realities of supplies? Are there short- and long-term alternatives that will stabilize the US economy and bolster its security? How do we produce adequate energy and preserve the environment at the same time? Topics will cover clean energy, where to get it, and what it can do for us; hybrid cars and hydrogen; the role of nuclear energy in our future; energy, foreign policy, international security, and how the three are connected; the economics of energy innovation; conservation and efficiency related to fuels; and adapting to climate change.
