Posted by Staff on February 15, 2008 |

Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency (IEA), today led a meeting used to provide an in-depth review of US energy policy.

Tanaka, along with Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs at the US Department of Energy, Karen Alderman Harbert, forecast how the United States could use energy more efficiently, particularly in the future. Harbert discussed the progress achieved by the Bush Administration regarding energy use and conservation.

Tanaka and Harbert urged that Americans continue to limit carbon dioxide emission in order to continue to improve our energy usage efficiency.

Tanaka maintained that the US is has been relatively successful when it comes to energy usage, but should strive for improvement. Without a conscious effort from American citizens and lawmakers, warned Tanaka and Harbert, the progress made by our nation regarding energy conservation may not be long lasting.
