The CSIS Energy and National Security Program is pleased to invite you to roundtable discussion on the evolution of the nation's energy policy, particularly as it relates to the new energy reality and the reconciling of economic, energy security, foreign policy and environmental objectives. 

The prolific growth in the development of U.S. shale gas and tight oil resources has dramatically altered the energy landscape. This growth coupled with a new awareness of the need to address climate change and promote economic growth while managing geopolitical and technological change has ushered in a future of both challenge and opportunity. At the same time, even as we consider prudent policies going forward, we are confronted by legislation and regulations conceived at a different time and under vastly different circumstances.

Please join us for an enriching discussion with our panel of experts - each with unique and insightful perspectives - as we put some of the key issues of the day in context, review where we've come from, and suggest constructive pathways forward. We have specifically designed this event as a participatory roundtable and look forward to an engaging and instructive conversation.
