The Future of Energy. In the wake of the historic oil spill in the Gulf, and the debate about energy and climate change legislation in Congress, Peter Bijur discusses oil, resources, and America’s energy future. What are the challenges, solutions, and likely scenarios for the months and years to come? Bijur, the former Chairman and CEO of Texaco, presents a examination of the issues from the perspective of an energy insider.
