This panel discussion focuses on the key points of: lack of consensus over U.S. energy mix; shortage of U.S.-controlled vessels risks U.S. Energy and Food Security; vulnerability to foreign ownership of key food security assets; weak U.S. leadership over future fuels in shipping; and the risk created by a small U.S. fleet for a rules-based international order for energy and food security.
