Energy security issues have generated severe concerns in
Washington, including: the acute threat posed by radical Islamic
jihadists to global energy supply and production; the latest
increases in demand in the developing world, including China, which
drive up global energy prices; and the concerns about political
stability and governance of major energy producing nations around
the world.
With oil prices at historic highs in absolute dollar terms, it is
becoming apparent that the situation is deteriorating. To regain
the degree of energy stability the West once enjoyed, it is clear
that the next U.S. Administration and its allies must develop a
strategy and take action. Though many would prefer to believe that
the answers to the questions we face are as simple as physical
infrastructure security and conservation, the reality is
disturbingly more complex and needs comprehensive policy answers
without delay.
Join us as our distinguished panel of experts reviews these and
other problems facing Global Energy Security in the time of World
Terror.
