Tomorrow, PRC is hosting an exciting and informative Capitol Hill Roundtable on one of America's greatest challenges: energy. Come join us!
Between now and 2030, U.S. population is projected to rise by nearly 60 million, a jump of almost 20 percent. While per capita energy consumption may be gradually declining, total U.S. energy consumption is continuing to rise. What does that mean for America's energy future? Given the rising U.S. demand for energy, is it possible to eliminate, or even reduce, U.S. dependence on foreign oil? Can the U.S. successfully reduce carbon emissions? Can "green energy" fill the void? Will fast-growing states in the South and the West be able to meet the rising demand for electricity from renewable sources? These and other questions will be explored tomorrow by a group of experts that will give us a wide range of perspectives on America's energy future.
