Overview

Dear Colleagues:

Welcome to The Search for Wise Energy Policy, a forum offered by Indiana University's School of Public and Environmental Affairs (IU SPEA) to stimulate timely, in-depth discussion of major energy policy issues facing our nation and the world.

The landscape for energy policy is rapidly changing under the leadership of the Obama administration. We have a rare opportunity now to be involved in laying the intellectual foundation for bold, effective new global energy policies that can sustain us well into the future.

Although energy policy development is inherently complex and risky, opportunities exist for identifying the key issues, for discussing alternative solutions and their measurable impacts — in short, for developing not just different energy policy, but wise energy policy.

The Search for Wise Energy Policy will present four consecutive panel discussions, each featuring experts from the academic world, the private sector and research institutes. Panel topics include:
  • Energy Policy Drivers
  • Changing Patterns in Energy Supply
  • Changing Patterns in Energy Demand and Use
  • Climate Policy
I am pleased that IU SPEA has taken the initiative in fostering discussion of these critical issues — and I invite you to join us today by registering at the conference registration web page.

Sincerely,

John D. Graham
Dean
