  • Energy and National Security

    Wed, Mar 12, 2003
    Panelists probe some of the most provocative questions around the issue of fundamental sustainability. They ask what the real costs are of Middle Eastern oil, how secure is the US power grid, and whether the US can improve its energy security. Buildings account for one third of all the United States' carbon emissions. Carbon is the leading greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. Electricity consumed by American citizens and businesses generates more pollution than any other US industry. The American Lung Association says pollution is America's number one health threat. At the same time, construction and energy generation are critical sectors of the US and global economic engine. Focusing on practical solutions to such important issues as electricity deregulation, rising energy prices, sustainable building practices and healthy, quality construction, this forum explores the link between renewable technologies based on sustainable design strategies, and solutions to the global climate challenge which promote economic growth. Cosponsored by the Northeast Sustainable Energy Association (NESEA) and Worldwatch Institute.
