The Institute
conducted a Government Field Program in August 2005 for selected audiences
from the federal and state government. The resource emphasis for the
program was energy -- specifically addressing a wide range of energy
resources and candidly addressing their respective strengths and weaknesses
as contributors to the Nation's future energy supply.
The Government
Field Program began on Monday, August 8, at the Golden Hotel, in Golden,
Colorado. The Program concluded on Saturday, August 13 in Jackson, Wyoming.
At each site
visited, participants were introduced to the geologic, technical, economic,
environmental, social, institutional, and political aspects of energy
development.
