    Details:    In the first 100 days of his administration, President Obama
                has put energy and environment policy at the heart of
                America's future. In the next 100 days, he will need to work
                with various political interests and make keen decisions to
                realize his vision.

                Using this premise as a starting point, Deloitte has released
                a new white paper by Joseph A. Stanislaw, Ph.D., titled
                "America's Renaissance: Energy, Environment, Security and
                Global Leadership - An Energy Agenda for President Obama's
                Second 100 Days." In the white paper, Stanislaw offers five
                ideas that can help President Obama move his energy agenda
                forward:

                -- Forge a national energy policy framework guided by
                   successes on greening and clean energy development at the
                   local and state level.

                -- Put every American and every American home at the center of
                   the effort, mobilizing the country as was done in World War
                   II.

                -- Assert global leadership by passing a carbon bill -- or
                   agreeing to the principles of a framework for carbon -- and
                   forging an international consensus.

                -- Invest in education, basic research and development for all
                   energy forms, including clean coal and clean oil.

                -- Bring the American oil and gas industries to the table as
                   key allies in the transformative Obama energy plan, making
                   them part of the solution to the challenges of job
                   creation, environmental protection and national security.
                   Recognize that oil and gas are essential in moving to a
                   low-carbon future. 


Tapping into his 30 years of industry experience, Stanislaw describes in the
white paper how President Obama can advance his progressive energy policy and
simultaneously ensure that private sector players can participate through
market share and funding.

Stanislaw is founder of the advisory firm The JAStanislaw Group, LLC and
cofounder and former president and chief executive officer of Cambridge Energy
Research Associates. He co-authored The Commanding Heights: The Battle for the
World Economy, a book that became the subject of a six-hour documentary that
aired on PBS.
