Inaugural Public Policy Forum "Energy & Natural Resources" Receives Rave Reviews | |
Just because water always runs out of the tap and the lights turn on when you flip the switch, doesn't mean it will always be that way. Future access to abundant, moderately priced energy in the United States is achievable, but by no means guaranteed, unless government agencies and the public gain a better understanding of the obstacles to increased investment in energy production.

Speakers from academia, engineering firms, the state legislature and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce received rave reviews from those in attendance at this first-ever event.
