Study Presentation: Navigating the U.S. Oil Export Debate Part 1

On January 21st, Thomas E. Donilon, former National Security Advisor and a member of the Center on Global Energy Policy’s Advisory Board, delivered remarks about recent issues in energy geopolitics and national security, including the recent collapse in oil prices.

His speech keynoted an event to present a new report, Navigating the U.S. Oil Export Debate, a collaboration between the Center on Global Energy Policy and the Rhodium Group. After his remarks, Mr. Donilon engaged in a moderated discussion with Center Founding Director Jason Bordoff about current issues in energy geopolitics, including the US oil export debate.

The event also included a presentation of the new report, coauthored by Jason Bordoff and Rhodium Group Partner Trevor Houser.
