Fostering understanding of energy since 1983

The Energy Forum, Inc. is dedicated to fostering public understanding of energy issues including the energy market and industry and of the many challenges facing them in a rapidly changing world. Its regular public lectures and discussions on a variety of relevant topics provide a collegial platform where industry and academic experts, business leaders, policymakers, students, journalists and others can exchange information and ideas about energy issues and interact with one another in a non-partisan environment.

The 2018 Farm Bill expires this year, which means agriculture and food policy -- and associated spending -- will be on the Congressional agenda in 2023. According to the Department of Agriculture, 11% of US greenhouse gas emissions come from the agricultural sector and that percentage is growing. While the biggest component of the Farm Bill is and will remain food assistance, this omnibus law also touches energy and climate policy and investment in myriad ways.
