North American Energy Summit
New York City | June 10-11, 2014
Overview
North America is at a historic inflection point when it comes to its energy future. In recent years, energy production has surged across the continent, with the United States poised to become the worlds top oil producer, Canada scaling output to unprecedented levels, and Mexico forging landmark energy reform. The North American Energy Summit will assemble public and private stakeholders to discuss a strategy for harnessing the continents energy resources to spur economic growth, enhance national security and regional competitiveness, and promote responsible development of these resources.
OUTLOOK
As recently as five years ago, energy projections outlined a bleak future for North America. Expected increases in oil and gas imports, coupled with growing susceptibility to supply side shocks, foretold higher energy prices and increased pressure on economic growth. Today, North Americas energy outlook has dramatically improved. In addition to substantial increases in oil supply, natural gas and renewable energy production are also on the rise. As a result, the U.S. trade deficit has shrunk, while jobs in the energy sector are growing faster than the private sector as a whole.
