PREPUBLICATION COPY—SUBJECT TO FURTHER EDITORIAL CORRECTION A America’s Energy Future Project In 2007, the National Academies initiated a major study titled “America’s Energy Future: Technology Opportunities, Risks, and Tradeoffs,” to inform the national debate about the nation’s energy future. The America’s Energy Future (AEF) project is planned to include two phases (Figure A.1). Phase I will produce a series of five reports. The first is a summary of discussions at the National Academies’ March 2008 energy summit convened to provide input to the deliberations of the Committee on America’s Energy Future. Three reports produced by separately constituted panels will also provide material for consideration by the full AEF study committee in its report on the current and future potential of existing and new energy supply and demand technologies, their associated impacts, and projected costs. Phase I of the AEF project will serve as the foundation for a Phase II portfolio of subsequent studies at the Academies and elsewhere focused on more strategic, tactical and policy issues, such as energy research and development priorities, strategic energy technology development, policy analysis, and many related subjects. A key objective of the AEF project is to facilitate a productive national policy debate about the nation’s energy future. 231
