The quest for sufficient energy resources will play an important strategic role in the rise and fall of nations as well as become a source of potential global disputes over the coming decades. Against this backdrop, Transatlantic Energy Futures analyzes how Europe and the United States will grapple with these looming energy questions:
• What are the factors driving energy policy decisions in Washington, Brussels, European capitals, and U.S. states?
• What will define their energy mixes in the future?
• What are the similarities and differences, convergences and divergences in various energy sectors in Europe and America?
• Are there synergies to tap in closer cooperation on energy issues? What should be done to facilitate transatlantic cooperation in the field of energy from a political and economic perspective?
• Is a transatlantic energy alliance desirable? Is it even possible? What should be the goals, scope, shape, and influence of such an alliance?
