Themed “U.S. Competitiveness Amid a Changing Natural Gas Landscape: A View from the Southeast,” the policy forum provided a platform for Secretary Moniz to urge leaders in energy research like Georgia Tech to focus on energy independence, cost, and security, and we can do all three if we apply our innovation thinking.
