The Department of the Navy is holding its 2011 Naval Energy Forum 13-14 October in Washington, D.C. National energy leaders from the Department of the Navy and other federal agencies, industry, and academia will be meeting at the Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center to discuss energy reform.
Speakers and panelists will engage in a wide variety of topics that stress energy as a tactical advantage, including the importance of culture change; fleet challenges and successes; expeditionary issues; investments in biofuels and energy efficiency; energy efficient acquisition; and C5I considerations.
Concerning the upcoming Energy Forum, Rear Admiral Philip Cullom, Director, Energy and Environmental Readiness Division said, “The Navy and our nation rely far too much on fossil fuels and far too much on foreign sources of oil. That dependency degrades our national security, negatively impacts our economy, and ultimately is not sustainable for our economy or our planet. So having this opportunity to meet face-to-face with some of the key energy stakeholders in this fight for energy reform is invaluable.”
