As the Middle East rumbles through revolutions, Iran continues its march toward nuclearization, and billions in China and India rise in poverty, what are the implications of oil’s status as a strategic commodity to geopolitics and the prospects of economic recovery? What can we do to reduce the strategic importance of oil and how will action or inaction affect the U.S. and foreign economies?


Anne Korin is co-author of two important books addressing these issues: “Turning Oil into Salt Energy Independence through Fuel Choice” [2009] and “Energy Security Challenges for the 21st Century” also in 2009. She earned her Engineering Degree in Computer Science at Johns Hopkins University and is working towards her Doctorate at Stanford University.
