America’s reliance on petroleum continues to be a risk to our national security, our economy and our environment.

The current crash in oil markets—and the job losses, industry bailout requests and increased vulnerability to foreign powers such as Russia and Saudi Arabia that come with it—is but the most recent example.

At the same time, the rise in renewable energy and the chance to restart our economy post-COVID-19 in a cleaner, more resilient and more secure way is creating new opportunities for wind, solar and clean fuels that improve our national security, our economy and our environment.

Please join E2 and an expert panel of speakers for a timely discussion of the economic and national security impacts of the current oil crash and opportunities that come with clean energy.

Pavel Molchanov, Director and Equity Research Analyst at of Raymond James & Associates, will give an overview of the impact fluctuating global oil markets have on the economy and the potential for cleantech industries to provide greater market stability.

Lt. Gen. Richard Mills (USMC-RET), President and CEO of the Marine Corps University Foundation, will discuss energy and oil in relation to national security and Marine Corps operations.

Dan Misch, former U.S Navy nuclear engineer-turned wind industry executive who co-founded the Veterans Advanced Energy Summit, will detail jobs and economic opportunities for veterans being created by the clean energy industry.
