Town Hall Meeting with Energy Secretary November 2010



Dr. Steven Chu (Secretary of DOE) met with Minister Ryan (Ireland) this afternoon( 4 November) to host a Town Hall style meeting in the Italian Room in Government Buildings. The theme of the meeting was "Clean Energy: The Next Industrial Revolution" and it was attended by industry, businesspeople and policy makers. The introductions from Minister Ryan and Dr. Chu sparked an interesting debate, as to the collaboration between Ireland and the USA in the future, but also in terms of the need for international consensus on climate change and energy security issues. Both Dr. Chu and Minister Ryan spoke about the policy plans that both the US administration and the Irish government have in place, and for the future.
