The shale revolution has led to America’s reemergence as an energy superpower in oil and natural gas. Can shale also trigger a transportation revolution in the United States? Will the advent of new “alternate” or future fuels enable new technology ranging from compressed and liquid natural gas-powered vehicles to ethanol and methanol derived from natural gas feedstock?
On May 7th, Hudson Institute hosted a day-long conference to address the critical economic, political, and technological issues surrounding future fuels and their impact on America’s energy security. John Hofmeister, the former president of Shell Oil Company, delivered the keynote address.
Panelists discussed the lessons the U.S. can learn from other countries—and from its own automotive industry—in transitioning to alcohol fuels for vehicles and evaluate the risks and opportunities on the road ahead for a future fuel-driven transportation system. Panelists also shed new light on the steps policymakers can take to create a common competitive market for future fuels that preserves the advantages of the free market while embracing technological breakthroughs.

NATO members Lithuania, Denmark, Estonia, and Poland have led the way in both backing Ukraine’s defense and bolstering their own capabilities. But no country has shown more courage and tenacity than Ukraine itself. These countries' parliamentary chairs will join Hudson’s Peter Rough to discuss what to look for at the Vilnius summit.
This event will discuss the failed policy of 2-percent inflation, the restoration of a true monetary base, checks and balances on the Federal Reserve, free market interest rates, and other fundamental reforms to America’s ailing money regime.
Please join Hudson Institute Asia-Pacific Security Chair Dr. Patrick Cronin for a conversation with Ambassador Fick on the intersection of strategy, technology, and diplomacy.
