On September 18-19, 2008, the Belfer Center's Energy Technology Innovation Policy (ETIP) research group convened leaders from academia, research centers, government, business, and non-governmental organizations for a major conference on U.S. energy policy, titled Acting in Time on Energy Policy. The conference was co-sponsored by the Consortium for Energy Policy Research at Harvard and the Harvard University Center for the Environment. Conference attendees discussed future energy policy directions in six main areas: global climate change, carbon capture and storage technology, oil and transportation, energy technology innovation, electricity, and leadership.
 
This seven-minute video captures the essence of the event and highlights recommendations given by participants during each of the six panels. A book, also titled Acting in Time on Energy Policy, edited by Kelly Sims Gallagher, Director of ETIP, and to be published by Brookings Institution Press this spring, will offer readers a comprehensive summary of the conference and versions of the presented papers. More information about the book can be found on the Brookings Institution Press website at: http://www.brookings.edu/press/Books/2009/actingintimeonenergypolicy.aspx
