About This Event

Online registration for this event is closed. Walk-in registrations will be accepted.

Energy independence is a popular recent catchphrase, but it is remarkably undefined. What does “energy independence” really mean? Is it independence from the use of certain kinds of energy altogether? Is it independence from price fluctuations? From supply disruptions? From certain suppliers in particular? Is it independence from foreign entanglements, such as our continuing involvement in the Middle East? Or is it just a fanciful term for wishful thinking?

Robert Bryce, author of Gusher of Lies (PublicAffairs, March 2008), will join AEI scholars Steven F. Hayward and Kenneth P. Green to discuss the realities, liabilities, and possibilities of energy independence.
