Energy security and climate change are pressing concerns for both the United States and the global community at large. The issues also overlap with significant foreign policy concerns. The CSIS Energy and National Security Program has designed the Energy Solutions Series to move the ongoing energy policy debate beyond a simple recitation of current obstacles and problems into a more realistic examination and discussion of ideas, options and solutions that will lead to a more sustainable future.

The Energy Solution Series hosted a discussion with senior representatives from the presidential campaigns.  They spoke at CSIS to discuss their energy policy and climate change positions. The discussion featured:

  • Elgie Holstein, Energy and Environmental Policy Consultant and Advisor to the Barack Obama Campaign

  • Rebecca Jensen Tallent, Legislative Assistant for Senator John McCain's Senate office and Policy Advisor for the McCain 2008 campaign

  • Dan Utech , Senior Advisor to Senator Clinton on energy and environmental policy
