Jerry Taylor

Senior Fellow

Gas prices – oil imports – electricity costs – oil company profits – the energy markets – the development and economics of new energy technologies - and much more. In a field where myth, emotion, and misinformation can cloud – or, perhaps more apt, pollute the facts, Jerry Taylor is an energetic blast of clear, reasoned thinking. As one of the most frequently cited experts in energy and environmental policy in the nation, Taylor has the experience, knowledge, and ability to provide realistic, that-makes-absolute-sense perspectives on a wide range of energy and environmental issues.

Some of Jerry Taylor's most requested presentations include

Twilight of the Oil Economy?

Are we running out of oil and, if so, what does that mean for the world’s economy? How can governments effectively respond?

Rethinking Energy Security

A totally absorbing, highly compelling anatomy of the “oil weapon” and the nexus between energy consumption, oil imports, and Islamic terrorism.

Deregulating Electricity – Has It Been Worth It?

Rethinking the campaign to deregulate the power industry – why restructuring has undoubtedly made matters worse.

Taking Sustainable Development Seriously

Is the world economy on an environmentally sustainable path? What would a truly “sustainable” economy look like?

Global Warming – The Heated Debate

Most discussions about the science and politics surrounding global warming produce much more heat than light. A more dispassionate, reasoned examination of the issues reveals how the current debate among academics in the field bears little resemblance to the debate going on in the popular press. How has this split happened? What are the real facts of the matter?

In addition to these subjects, Jerry Taylor speaks on urban and regional growth, science and public policy, public lands, population growth, pollution, forests and forestry, environmental law and regulation, developing economies, the Department of Energy, the Clean Air Act, waste management and Superfund.
