Broadcast of Forum event on energy independence and security

Broadcast: Midmorning, 04/21/2008, 9:06 a.m.

As the price of a gallon of gasoline climbs above three dollars, the search for an alternative to Middle Eastern oil is becoming a greater priority for the nation. But what are the alternatives, and how realistic is it that they will replace oil as our main source of fuel for transportation? And if importing oil from unstable regions remains a large part of the energy equation, how does the United States maintain its security? These were some of the issues discussed in the UBS Forum on April 17.
