## Slide 1

**Notes:**
Can we remove the Master format from this?  (The logo in the corner, and the line?)

I’d put this on the screen when I first open the forum.

## Energy Analysis Forum Series

- Select a
- Specific Energy
- Issue

*What is known?*

*What are the open questions?*

*What data or studies are needed?*

*How should the studies be done?*

**Notes:**
Text would accompany this, and note that it is animated to bring the text in, piece by piece.  Is that too busy?

## “Understanding the U.S. Strategic Interests in Expanding RenewableEnergy Systems Worldwide”

- Third Energy Analysis ForumJune 11 and 12, 2003
- Sponsored by

## Understanding our Strategic Interest in the Global Use of Renewable Energy

_**John Millhone, Program Manager**__**EERE Weatherization and Intergovernmental Program**_
- What are DOE’s interests in global energy systems, and how are these pursued?
- From DOE’s perspective, what are the benefits and challenges regarding the use of renewables in global energy systems?

## Issue Framework

_**Roger Taylor, NREL**_
- Energy markets, international development, environmental changes, and international security are all inter-related – but how?
- RE technologies are increasingly competitive on a playing field that continues to enjoy direct and collateral subsidies.
- Energy, water, and agriculture are the keys to rural economic development.
- Increasing dependence on fossil fuels for electricity generation and transportation is leading to severe local and increasingly global environmental impacts.
- Terrorism, famine, natural disasters, and war all have destabilizing impacts and strong links to the lack of energy either before, during, or after major natural or political events.
- So ... *What is the U.S. Strategic Interest in Expanding the Global Use of Renewables?  And how do we frame this question – and the answers – to encourage change?*
