SUMMARY:INVITE - Beyond Rhetoric: How the US can Help Enhance European Energy Security
DESCRIPTION:Beyond Rhetoric: How the US can Help Enhance European Energy Security\n\n\n\nJuly 30\, 2014\n\n\n12:30pm – 2:00pm\n\n\nLocation: 1100 New York Avenue\, NW 7th Floor\, West Tower\n\n\n\n  \nThe shale gas boom has already benefited the United States at home. New developments mean that it could provide greater energy security for America’s allies around the world: a valuable new tool of diplomacy. \nWe see how America’s NATO allies are challenged in their reaction to the continuing events in Ukraine by their complicated energy relationships to Russia. Exports of American natural gas can help disentangle those relationships\, and many NATO allies are actively supporting increased exports from the US. On the other hand\, we know American LNG exports will not occur overnight and that the federal government cannot direct gas shipments to Europe. \nWhat can the US do in the short term to enhance European energy security? And\, how can the US most effectively utilize its energy resources as a tool of diplomacy? \nJoin American Security Project on July 30\, 2014 as a panel of  distinguished experts will discuss LNG and the concrete steps that the United States can take to help enhance Europe’s Energy Security. \nLunch will be served prior to the event from 12:00pm – 12:30pm \n(Early response is encouraged\, as space is limited) \nSpeakers\nAmbassador Žygimantas Pavilionis \nAmbassador Pavilionis was appointed to be the Ambassador of Lithuania to the United States in 2010.
