Details: In the first 100 days of his administration, President Obama
has put energy and environment policy at the heart of
America's future. In the next 100 days, he will need to work
with various political interests and make keen decisions to
realize his vision.

Using this premise as a starting point, Deloitte has released
a new white paper by Joseph A. Stanislaw, Ph.D., titled
"America's Renaissance: Energy, Environment, Security and
Global Leadership - An Energy Agenda for President Obama's
Second 100 Days." In the white paper, Stanislaw offers five
ideas that can help President Obama move his energy agenda
forward:

-- Forge a national energy policy framework guided by
successes on greening and clean energy development at the
local and state level.

-- Put every American and every American home at the center of
the effort, mobilizing the country as was done in World War
II.

-- Assert global leadership by passing a carbon bill -- or
agreeing to the principles of a framework for carbon -- and
forging an international consensus.

-- Invest in education, basic research and development for all
energy forms, including clean coal and clean oil.

-- Bring the American oil and gas industries to the table as
key allies in the transformative Obama energy plan, making
them part of the solution to the challenges of job
creation, environmental protection and national security.
Recognize that oil and gas are essential in moving to a
low-carbon future.

Tapping into his 30 years of industry experience, Stanislaw describes in the white paper how President Obama can advance his progressive energy policy and simultaneously ensure that private sector players can participate through market share and funding.

Stanislaw is founder of the advisory firm The JAStanislaw Group, LLC and cofounder and former president and chief executive officer of Cambridge Energy Research Associates. He co-authored The Commanding Heights: The Battle for the World Economy, a book that became the subject of a six-hour documentary that aired on PBS.
