ULTIMATE BREW IN ENERGY EXAMINED NEXT WEEK AT UNIVERSITY OF WYOMING, CASPER - US Fed News Service, Including US State News

The University of Wyoming issued the following news release: What the future mix of energy supplies will be 20 to 30 years from now will be the topic of two events next week sponsored by the University of Wyoming.

The annual Stroock Forum on Wyoming Lands and People will feature 'Energy: Ultimate Brew for the Future' beginning at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 15, in the Wyoming Union ballroom on the UW campus. Former Ambassador Thomas F. Stroock will give closing remarks at 4:30 p.m.

The following day is the final fall lecture/discussion series 'Energy Futures: Global Changes that Challenge Wyoming' at 7 p.m. in the Wheeler Auditorium, located in the Wold Physical Science Center at Casper College.

Both events are free and open to the public, with a question and answer session to follow each forum.

The Stroock Forum at UW has been designed this year in conjunction with the fall discussion series in Casper.

The forum on the UW campus features a day of speakers and panels, with two keynote speakers: Rutger Huijgens from multinational oil company BP and the manager of the company's Wamsutter area assets in Wyoming, and Andrew Logan, manager of oil and insurance sectors for the investor-environmental coalition CERES of Boston. Both also will attend the Casper event the following day.

Huijgens will discuss how BP has acquired a variety of companies and properties, including Amoco properties in Wyoming. In recent months the company has outlined its vision of how global energy markets will change in response to global warming and sustainability concerns.

Logan will discuss how seriously many companies worldwide now take global warming issues and how they forecast energy market trends in response.

CERES, a coalition of public interest groups and institutional investors representing more than $4 trillion in assets, describes its mission 'to move businesses, capital, and markets to advance lasting prosperity by valuing the health of the planet and its people.'

The UW School of Energy Resources is funding a video series of highlights of the series, which will be broadcast and made available on DVD in early 2007.

The energy discussions at UW and in Casper are sponsored by the UW/Casper College Center, UW's Ruckelshaus Institute and Helga Otto Haub School of Environment and Natural Resources, School of Energy Resources, Department of Economics and Finance, College of Business, Casper College and the Casper Star-Tribune.
