David Sandalow, Senior Fellow
Abstract:
“I plan to deliver an address from the Oval Office one month from today. The topic will be oil dependence." With these opening words, David Sandalow’s Freedom from Oil explores what could happen if the next president made ending oil dependence a top priority. Dueling memos from Cabinet members and top aides examine plug-in cars, biofuels, fuel efficiency, mass transit and other topics. Freedom from Oil offers insights into both energy policy and White House decision-making, culminating with a speech by the new president to the nation. Sandalow, Energy & Environment Scholar and senior fellow at The Brookings Institution, will discuss his new book and take questions.
