- Understanding the Effects of Technology on Economics and Governance
Energy realities and climate policy provide the factual foundations necessary to understand the interaction of Energy Policy, National Security, Economic Prosperity, and Environmental Stewardship.
The experts provide vital information on Energy supply, growing energy demand for AI, the limited impacts of climate policies on actual climate outcomes, and the need to accommodate energy realities as the basis for policy decisions.
Emphasis is placed on several realities; 1) The vast size of the US and global energy sector, 2) While renewables have grown rapidly, they added to energy sources that on balance have not much replaced fossil fuels, which have continued to grow and still account for 80% of energy supply, 3) The need for a full cycle evaluation of climate policies to assess their net impact.
