Abstract

I think many of us grasp that our nation is facing a huge energy challenge, but I had yet to hear it articulated in such a compelling way as in some recently published testimony before the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. The messenger was Norman Augustine, retired chairman and CEO of the Lockheed Martin Corporation. He testified in his capacity as a member of the American Energy Innovation Council, an independent and informal group of seven of industry’s elite who have come together to lend a voice to the national discussion about a problem that affects us all; as he put it, the provision of energy.
