Submitted By: Christopher Sayler
Discussion Comments: 3
(This is a reprint of Probir's original question.)
Probir Ghosh
As a Moderator for the International Energy Policy and Markets at the Global New Energy Summit, what would you like to see the panelists discuss?
Here are 10 topics, you can add your own views to the topic and/or add additional topics:
-
Where does USA stand in relation to other countries for energy leadership in innovation, manufacturing, installations?
-
How can US based entities increase exports to emerging energy markets such as China, India, Brazil, others?
-
Can breakthrough innovation alone provide us global leadership in energy? Do we need to recapture leadership in manufacturing?
-
China and India have plans to dramatically increase their Nuclear energy capacities. Is Nuclear still viable given the recent Japan experience? Which are the top three energy initiatives for the future?
-
How viable is the 80% clean energy by 2030 goal set by the US President? What does it do for US?
-
Which countries will experience most of the net new energy infrastructure growth?
-
Has USA lost leadership for viable clean coal technologies, be it CBM or CCS?
-
Does it make sense for USA to export coal to countries like China and India, who are currently importing coal from Indonesia and Australia?
-
Is China Dominant Economy a foregone conclusion or is there hope for balanced growth economy where US still retains global leadership?
-
Arianna Huffington recently published a book titled "Third World America" Is that an alarmist view? What can we do to prevent our future generations from becoming second-class global citizens?

The Obama Energy Blueprint
04/01/11 11:37
Submitted By: Christopher Sayler
Discussion Comments: 1
On March 30, the Obama Administration released the Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future, which President Obama outlined during a speech at Georgetown University.
The plan consists of three main areas:
-
Develop and secure America's energy supplies
-
Provide consumers with choices to reduce costs and save energy
-
Innovate our way to a clean future
The document proposes the following (there are many more in the document):
-
Incentives to spur rapid development of oil and gas leases on public lands
-
Encourage fuel-switching from oil to natural gas
-
Reducing oil use with bioenergy
-
Building a new international framework for nuclear energy
-
Accelerate the transition to clean energy technologies
-
Encourage alternative fuels and mass transit in developing countries
-
Oil imports will be reduced by 1/3 by 2025
-
1 million electric vehicles on American roads by 2025
-
By 2035, the US will generate 80% of electricity from clean energy
-
Investments in high-speed rail and infrastructure projects of economic significance
-
Tax incentives for building energy efficiency
-
Setting a new standard for clean energy while protecting consumers from rising energy bills
-
Investments in and deployment of smart grid
-
Advancing new nuclear technologies
-
Eliminating fossil fuel subsidies
The full document can be found here: http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/blueprint_secure_energy_future.pdf
Questions for discussion:
-
Do you believe his words are consistent with government actions? If not, do you believe he will push for government alignment with these newly stated priorities?
-
Is this strategy feasible or is it not aggressive enough?
-
If implemented successfully, in what ways do you see this transforming energy markets?
Other thoughts are welcome as well.
Thank you!
