Amid the economic downturn and continued oil price volatility, U.S. presidential candidates have raised alarm about U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Energy policy is expected to receive fresh attention from policymakers in the next session of Congress. The debate is likely to include ways to integrate concerns over climate change with new energy initiatives and to move away from sources that produce carbon emissions. Below is a collection of CFR resources on energy and climate change.
