In “Fueling Our Future,” CNN’s Frank Sesno leads a lively panel discussion through a topical hypothetical situation in which a newly elected U.S. president is confronted with a crippling energy crisis. Belmar Mayor Ken Pringle appears with a distinguished panel of scientists, business leaders, politicians, and journalists who assume roles within the scenario, highlighting the tough decisions America must face in order to “fuel the future.” The panelists, who include environmentalist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., former CIA director Jim Woolsey, Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. Stephen Schneider; New York Times reporter and DOT Earth blogger, Andy Revkin and activist L. Hunter Lovins, approach the topic from many angles and offer a range of solutions, wrestling with a complex issue that defies easy answers. The panel discussion was taped on the island of Oahu, in Hawaii, during the Blue Planet Summit in April of 2008.
