The panel brings together three leading experts to discuss political-military threats to energy security. Politicians, policy wonks, and investors have all struggled through 2008 to deal with high oil prices and new questions about America's energy policies. They scrutinize every move in Middle Eastern diplomacy and every incident that seems to threaten the flow of oil. Twenty percent of the world's daily consumption passes the Iranian coast through the narrow Strait of Hormuz each day. Iran itself is a major oil producer, and its military power and religious and revolutionary influence in the region may give it leverage over the other countries around the Persian Gulf that have huge oil reserves. The panel will assess the strategic situation and debate reasonable policy responses to the threats.
