The National Energy Center

The National Energy Center was launched in Washington DC by Alan J Simpson in 2000 in the National Press Building. In September 2005 it evolved into a distributed online model, as opposed to a select client list, and was announced to the public. Over the years it has developed energy intelligence and infrastructure connections around the world, in solar, wind, biomass, geothermal and of course oil, gas, coal and nuclear. Today feeds come in daily from Europe, the Middle East, China, India, Japan and of course from around the USA to constantly update the scenarios in play around the country and the world.

The Initial News Release was taken by over 165,000 media outlets, and interested subscribers worldwide:

National Energy Center, Washington D.C. Plans for the Looming Energy Crisis 

The National Energy Center, Washington D.C. develops planning advice for energy investment, and sustainable practices to conserve energy and extend our domestic energy reserves.

(PRWEB) September 19, 2005 -- The National Energy Center, Washington D.C. brings together industry leaders, intelligence analysts, financial managers, policy and media experts to develop planning advice for energy investment, and sustainable practices to conserve energy and extend our domestic energy reserves.

The Center is being developed by Communication Links, Inc. the geopolitical intelligence company which monitors global developments, technologies, exploration and energy utilization, to create scenarios, solutions and recommendations for the energy needs of towns, countries, companies and individuals, as well as investment profiles for Hedge Funds, and investment managers.

"The vulnerability and lack of investment in energy infrastructure over the past 30 years is clearly highlighted with Hurricane Katrina," explains Alan Simpson, President of Communication Links, Inc. "This had ramifications around the world, and is just the beginning of increasing hardship and economic turmoil during this the Century of Energy Conflict. We can look forward to increasing conflicts between economic giants with nuclear weapons, as traditional supplies of cheap oil become exhausted."

"The predicted effects to the Global Food Chain are slowly unfolding against this backdrop of dwindling resources, increased demand and population growth. New discoveries have not kept pace with our insatiable demand for Oil and natural gas. We now need to bring together all the knowledge and possible scenarios to develop a sustainable plan for the future."

"There are simple modifications in the neglected refining capacity of the US which will significantly increase the supply of domestic oil to the consumer. Waste organic oils can be recycled, and with waste crops converted into diesel fuel for transportation and agriculture. With the advances in broadband telecommunications millions of workers could be off the roads within a short period of time, if corporations understood the positive effects of Telecommuting on the nations energy bill."

Other concerns are the development of Methane Hydrate and the risks in tapping these huge, but unstable reserves of natural gas. Nuclear energy and nuclear recycling become even more important as the US will have to turn to nuclear in the mid term to sustain their electrical energy needs as supplies of natural gas decline. Other alternatives being profiled are wind, solar and geothermal energy, especially for farmers and remote communities.

Later in October 2005 the Virtual Center took advantage of resources available to it in Washington, DC and issued a News Release to build up the core of media experts:

National Energy Center Launches Energy Briefings, TV and Radio 

The National Energy Center, Washington D.C. announces a series of Briefings, Radio, and TV programs, to prepare for the looming energy crisis. Energy and Political Intelligence Analysts, Energy Experts and Investment Managers give their opinions of the situation, solutions, and the technologies to watch.

(PRWEB) October 3, 2005 -- Communication Links, Inc. the driving force behind The National Energy Center, Washington D.C. announces a series of Briefings, Radio and TV programs to create an interactive exchange of information on energy developments, supply scenarios and alternative plans to meet the nations future energy needs. The threats to National Security and economic survival posed by the looming energy crisis cannot be understated.

Energy Briefings are often held at the National Press Club in Washington, DC. Here politicians, industry leaders, investment managers and journalists are briefed by leading spokesmen on energy intelligence, political energy initiatives, alternative energy and proposed solutions to the looming energy crisis. Monthly Saturday morning briefings are planned, restricted to 30 people, with a number of seats for interested members of the public. Advance registration is required. Details of the programs can be found on the NEC web site.

Capitol Hill Cafe is an exciting new geopolitical talk show featuring Members of Congress, Capitol Hill Staffers, industry spokesmen, lobbyists, investment managers and experts discussing the entire energy industry from exploration to energy conservation in the home. The dramatic effects of the energy crisis to our present lifestyle, National Security, and prosperity are clearly brought home, as are the many potential solutions. Initially this will be taped at the National Press Club but also at locations around Washington, DC, New York and at energy producing centers around the USA.

The popular corporate Intelligence Briefings are being developed as short radio and TV news feeds, and as the energy crisis starts to unfold newsrooms and news organizations are invited to contact us for expert insights, and regular updates.

These programs provide a unique opportunity to present alternative solutions, or showcase technologies, energy initiatives, or new products to an influential and expert audience. Created for briefing audiences in the Washington, DC area they can be developed for conferences, meetings and management briefings around the USA. Potential speakers and sponsors should contact Alan Simpson.

A compact television and radio studio had been created in 2003 and this was used to develop media messages for the adoption of more home produced energy. Sadly the response was luke warm as most were not convinced of the need to conserve and develop sustainable energy.

Today the quest for alternative and sustainable energy is going into high gear and the goals of the National Energy Center are being shared by millions. The goal for the future is to create local and regional centers around the world to inform, educate and train the public, and corporations on the better use of energy, and to conserve both energy and their wealth.
