U.S. Energy Security: What's at Stake and Can We Afford Not to Invest?

Hosted by Anita Blanchard and Marty Nesbitt

Date: Tuesday, November 1, 2011

The preeminent challenge facing the U.S. is to preserve our way of life and environment in an increasingly competitive world. Our economic competitiveness and quality of life are intimately related to our ability to secure affordable energy supplies—at what cost can this be realized? Are we up to this challenge? What are the consequences of inaction?

Join the following guest experts for an insightful discussion:

Eric D. Isaacs, Director of Argonne National Laboratory and Professor of Physics and the James Franck Institute, University of Chicago.

Ian Foster, Director of the Computation Institute and Argonne National Laboratory, Arthur Holly Compton Distinguished Service Professor, Computer Science, at the University of Chicago.

Robert Rosner, William E. Wrather Distinguished Service Professor, Departments of Astronomy and Astrophysics and Physics, Enrico Fermi Institute, and the College; former Director of Argonne National Laboratory; Senior Fellow, Computation Institute; Director, Harris School Energy Policy Institute.
