Overview:
Hear renowned author and columnist Thomas Friedman (bio) address the strategic role of sustainability and conservation for the U.S. and world at large. President Hennessy will give the introduction.
Thomas Friedman believes that the most important imperative in U.S. foreign and domestic policy today is to make ourselves energy efficient and independent, and environmentally green. Unlike in the past, when conservation issues were dismissed as the domain of “new-age hippies,” he’ll talk about why making ourselves “green” is actually the most tough-minded, geostrategic, pro-growth and patriotic thing we can do. He’ll argue that living green and tapping renewable sources has become a national security imperative that will require a real energy policy with long-term incentives for alternatives to fossil fuels.
This event is a joint presentation of the Energy Crossroads 2007 Conference and Entrepreneurship Week at Stanford.
Advance registration is required for this event.
