"[A] review of scientific data and eco- nomic trends shows that these fears are unfounded," Goreham said. "Nevertheless, energy misconceptions provide ammuni- tion for the current war on hydrocarbons and reasons for the misguided push for renewable alternatives. The resulting green energy policies are producing bizarre results in Europe and around the world. "The good news is that an upheaval is c o m i n g i n e n e r g y a n d c l i m a t e r e g u l a - tions and industry can help accelerate this upheaval." The energy and environmental futur- ist also noted that while a majority of the U.S. Congress does not subscribe to the theory that humans are creating global w a r m i n g , m o s t o f t h e n a t i o n ' s e d u c a - tional institutions will not even permit a debate on the topic in a public setting. "It's time for industry to push back against misguided environmental ideol- ogy," he said. The keynote is free for all badged guests.
