Japan recently released its tentative 15-year energy strategy. With all nuclear 
power plants now shut down, 90% of Japan's energy supply comes from imported fossil
fuels. And with liberalization of the power industry starting  next year, Japan's
utilities have announced the construction of seven new coal-fired power plants. 
The energy strategy takes an "all-of-the-above approach," calling for renewables
 and nuclear to provide about 20% of the country's needs by 2030 with coal and natural
gas providing most of the rest. In addition, Japan will focus on what are termed
 "future energy" sources such as hydrogen. After the tentative plan was met with
 criticism from competing energy interests, and with 60% of the public remaining
 opposed to restarting any nuclear plants,formal approval by the Government of Japan
has yet to take place.
Please join us for a private, off-the-record discussion with Jeffrey Miller, Energy
Attaché at the United States Embassy Japan and Director of the U.S. Department of
Energy Japan Office, for his insights into the latest developments in Japan on energy
as well as implications for the United States.

*Lunch will be provided.
**The discussion is off-the-record. Seating will be allocated on a first-come, first-served
basis.
