multiagency strategy for understanding and working to develop the science to mitigate the impacts of unconventional oil and natural gas production and this is with our office and usgs and epa and like wise you see the l recommendations that are pointed to doe. and this report really points back to that role for the arctic as well. in one way the way i think about the work of our office is we re the office of science for federal and state regular lay to rs. we were in alaska last week and i can tell you state regulators in alaska are very much focused on these questions and understanding what the science says in an unbiased and neutral manner about this activity can proceed. and those are the same questions that our partners are asking at other federal agencies, and we re the the office that they turned to understand what the center of the science understands. and it s a vital role that government research plays and providing policymakers with an unbiased view of science, tech
in order to ensure that public confidence we re 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 it s 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 it s 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 imp

and government leadership and policy coordination. these themes are the three pillars, if you will, of what s 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 that s 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,
i m certain i would not have done whatever good i did do, i would have done less well if i hadn t 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 child s 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 don t know how to treat yet. i think that you will live in a time where the technological revolution will extend into artificial intelligence and we ll be able to do things we ve 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 o
