Gas Prices, Energy Supplies and Alternative Energy Take Center Stage in Denver
Energy industry and government experts convene to discuss energy issues at the national Summer Energy Outlook conference
DENVER - How high will gas prices go this summer? How much will it cost to cool your home? And what amount of alternative energy will meet America's demands? Energy industry and government experts will answer these questions and more at the 2008 Summer Energy Outlook Conference.
The U.S. Department of Energy with the National Conference of State Legislatures and the Pacific Northwest Economic Region are hosting the 2008 Summer Energy Outlook Conference on April 22 at the Brown Palace Hotel in Denver.
"Gasoline prices are already 60 cents a gallon higher than this time last year," said Tancred Lidderdale with the Energy Information Administration (EIA). "The latest EIA short-term forecast shows gasoline prices even higher this summer."
With this in mind, the 2008 Summer Energy Outlook Conference is an opportunity for policy makers, state officials and industry experts to share perspectives on energy supplies, demand and prices for the upcoming summer season.
Here are some of the meeting highlights:
