Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
The nation is growing increasingly concerned about energy.
Americans' demand for energy is increasing faster than secure
supplies. Much of the world's supply of oil is delivered in a
cartel market dominated by unstable or hostile nations, some of
which are using energy as a tool to frustrate U.S. national
security and foreign policy objectives. Meanwhile, many
Americans harbor misunderstandings and myths about energy and
market forces. They want low energy prices and plentiful
supply, but resist the steps that energy companies must take to
achieve these goals. This confusion leads their
representatives in Congress to create conflicting policies that
harm America's ability to meet its energy needs. This has to
change.
Robert Bradley, Jr. is President of the Institute for Energy
Research in Houston and one of the nation's leading experts on the
history and regulation of energy and related sustainable
development issues. Dr. Bradley will discuss some of the core
principles necessary for efficient and effective U.S. energy
policy, followed by a panel of Heritage experts who will review
energy legislation currently under consideration in Congress.
