“The best way to predict the future is to invent it.”
~Tom Kuhn, President & CEO, Edison Electric Institute
At the end of the first decade in the 21st century, the American energy industry stands at the precipice of vast changes and widespread opportunity. Legislative and regulatory uncertainty could have broad ramifications for conventional energy generation and industrial development. Volatile financial markets may continue to hinder project financing and temper investments in all energy sectors. In spite of these challenges, the energy industry remains one of the most pioneering industries on earth, testing the limits of proven technologies and determining its own destiny through innovation. As a comprehensive, unbiased representative of America’s energy industry, USEA offers a neutral platform on which influential energy players discuss the industry’s current state and future prospects. Through our signature annual events, topical membership briefings, international development programs and World Energy Council affiliations, USEA has its finger on the pulse of domestic and global energy affairs. We thrive off our collaborative work with members of our domestic and international networks. From nuclear to natural gas, coal to conservation, hydro to hydrogen, pipelines to transmission lines, we are the one single place for everything energy.
3RD ANNUAL ENERGY SUPPLY FORUMBack by popular demand, the 2010 Energy Supply Forum concentrated on three key areas for U.S. and global energy supplies: investment decisions affecting electric power generation and transportation fuels procurement; prospects for offshore energy and nuclear development; and the future of shale gas exploration. The discussions revealed a sense of optimism that worldwide energy demand is regaining the momentum that it lost during the financial crisis and recession. Many questions continue to surround the growth of certain domestic sectors, particularly the nuclear, coal and shale gas arenas. All the same, panelists expressed tremendous enthusiasm for the industry’s commitment to sustainability by reducing CO2 emissions, promoting end-user energy efficiency and tapping the potential of emerging markets. This year’s speakers included FERC Chairman John Wellinghoff, former U.S. Secretary of Energy Spencer Abraham and Shell Oil Company Executive Vice President Russ Ford.
6TH ANNUAL STATE OF THE ENERGY INDUSTRY FORUMFollowing a tumultuous year of financial volatility and domestic economic stagnation, the 6th Annual State of the Energy Industry Forum surveyed the industry’s happenings in 2009. Jeffrey Holzchuh, Vice Chairman of Morgan Stanley, opened the Forum with an analysis of the global economic recession’s impact on energy markets and predicted that the worst of the recession was behind us. Next came a rousing discussion amongst the leaders of the natural gas, wind and solar associations, whose sectors had experienced unprecedented growth in investment in 2009 despite the economy’s overall poor performance. The following panel examined the implications of a low-carbon energy policy for the United States, acknowledging the tension between the cost of reducing emissions through energy innovation and overall economic competitiveness. Appropriately, the Forum concluded with a presentation by by John Mahoney, Chief Operating Officer at Chevron Energy Solutions, on the critical role that energy efficiency must play in addressing America’s energy challenges.
