This is an episode Center on Global Energy Policy’s Columbia Energy Exchange podcast series.
From the rise of new technologies which have ushered in the era of shale and transformed the United States into a top producer of oil and gas, to a shift away from nuclear power as costs skyrocket and plants close down, to continued debate about the relationship between energy and climate change, the U.S. energy sector has faced significant disruption over the last 10 years.
On a new episode of Columbia Energy Exchange, host Bill Loveless speaks with Spencer Abraham, former U.S. Secretary of Energy under President George W. Bush, about these changes and their implications for the outlook of energy policy under President Trump. Abraham served as a United States Senator from Michigan from 1995 to 2001. He is one of the founders of the Federalist Society and a co-founder of the Harvard Journal of Law and Public Policy.
Among many topics they discuss, several include:
- How public policy has kept up with disruption in the energy sector
- Energy policy and energy "dominance" under the new administration
- Challenges facing Secretary of Energy Rick Perry
- The future of nuclear energy in the United States
- President Trump's approach to climate change
