In order to ensure that Public Confidence were going to have to make sure that we are conducting science in demonstrating technologies in transparent manners. So that means in some sort of public manner, whether its through the work of the National Labs. We have the work of National Labs across the country that are part of the department of energy. Whether its through public, private partnerships and many of which are referenced and surveyed in the study or through academic work, but in order for policymakers to rely on science and Technology Demonstration in policy making, that work is going to have to be done in a transparent manner that the public can have confidence in. I think you will see quite a few of the recommendations in the study have that in mind and we very much look forward in identifying ways that the department of energy can be part of that continued resource and that demonstration. The many will ask why the arctic, why now outside of this leadership imperative when we
And government leadership and policy coordination. These themes are the three pillars, if you will, of whats necessary to move forward with the development. The first two listed are in the Environmental Stewardship theme and the first is that industry and regulators should Work Together to analyze these new technologies for well control. The second speaks to Oil Spill Response in ice and there is an Industry Collaborative Research project thats been under way since 2012 that has been evaluating Response Technologies developed in temperate climates to see how they will perform in the arctic and we recommend that Government Agencies form that collaborative and there are eight International Companies participating. In the area of economic viability we make two recommendations and the first is around extending the drilling season. The picture at the left illustrates the challenge, currently the exploration drilling season is conducted in the winter or in the summer, excuse me, when the wat
Im certain i would not have done whatever good i did do, i would have done less well if i hadnt been here. Thank you. This is from dorea, a sophomore in the college. Sort of two pronged. Where do you see this generation of young adults going in in what way is our path going to be dirnt than before . What has happened in technology to this day, it will look like childs play. Over the next 20 to 30 years. I think most of you will live to be 90 years old or more, unless some accident where you have an environmentally caused cancer we dont know how to treat yet. I think that you will live in a time where the technological revolution will extend into Artificial Intelligence and well be able to do things weve never been able to do before. I think the combination of Nano Technology and improvements and the continuing of the genome will lead us to have affordable four times a year health exam that will basically involve going into a canister and being scanned and i think one of the biggest deb
