National Energy Symposium, Los Angeles, Ca, June 15, 2006

NewEnergyTimes/ June 1, 2006/
Dear Readers,
We wish to bring to your attention the
National Energy Symposium, the first in a series of six such events that will be
featured throughout the U.S. and sponsored by leading academic institutions such
as Caltech and University of Southern California with the John F. Kennedy School
of Government at Harvard University. The Symposiums are also cosponsored by
Congressional Quarterly and The Communications Institute, the project
coordinator.
The first one-day event, on June 15, 2006, will take place on the campus of the
University of Southern California, in Los Angeles. Tentative dates for other
locations are mid-October for New York and early December for Washington, D.C.
Events in other cities will be announced as they are known.
The issues
that will be discussed comprise perhaps the most crucial problems facing
humankind. We can no longer hope and wish that global warming is just a
speculative theory.
It is now quite clear that many of the current
world conflicts, and perhaps impending conflicts, have their roots in energy and
its availability.
New Energy Times spoke with John E. Cox, Jr.,
President of The Communications Institute in Pasadena, Calif.
New Energy
Times: What inspired you to develop this program?
John Cox: I was the
chief of staff to a United States Congressman in the mid 1970s during the energy
crisis. Policymakers and media simply didn’t understand the crisis then and
responded in totally inappropriate ways like trying to ration gasoline based on
the distance of gas stations from center cities to blaming the shortage on an
oil industry conspiracy. The challenges today are even more complex and cry for
greater knowledge in economics and engineering to approach these issues
rationally, intelligently. What we don’t need is more partisanship! What we need
is statesmanship and the unvarnished facts that can direct public and private
decision-making, and that is what this program will provide.
New Energy
Times: What are you hoping it will achieve?
John Cox: We want to
provide, particularly to policymakers, media and private/public sector leaders,
a better understanding of how our nation can best tackle the energy challenges
we have now and in the future. This requires, in part, an understanding of the
viability of the sources we now have and those that may be on the horizon for
the future. What technologies offer the best possibility to improve the
environment and are technologically and economically viable right now?
