On February 1–3, 2002, Consensus Building Institute and Rocky Mountain Institute convened 22 distinguished energy experts from the public and private sectors for the NEP Initiative Workshop outside Washington, D.C. Using the Assessment as a starting point, those experts sought consensus on the answers to these questions:
- What overarching goals and principles should guide national energy policy?
- What specific policies would best support these goals and principles?
- What package of policies might help resolve contentious issues and reduce the risk of impasse on national energy legislation?
The resulting
Report of the Industry Experts, as well as the
National Energy Issues Assessment will be circulated to interested Members of Congress, energy constituency leaders, and the media.
