About the Center for Energy Policy and the Environment

The Center for Energy Policy and the Environment advances ideas about the practical application of free-market economic principles to address today's energy issues. It challenges conventional wisdom about energy supplies, production, and consumption, and examines the intersection of energy, the environment, and economic and national security.

Senior Fellows Peter Huber and Max Schulz are leading our efforts to show how a pro-growth, supply-side energy policy can be harmonized with a concern for the environment. Peter Huber is a nationally recognized expert on energy policy issues. His most recent book, The Bottomless Well, traces the history of energy consumption and argues that technology is making energy supplies inexhaustible. It has received wide acclaim, and garnered praise from Bill Gates as "the only book I've ever seen that really explains energy, its history and what it will be like going forward." For four years, Max Schulz was a policy advisor and speechwriter for secretaries Samuel Bodman and Spencer Abraham at the Department of Energy. He worked extensively on issues ranging from energy supply and demand to nuclear security and nonproliferation.

The Center's current initiatives include addressing the economic and national-security issues related to the energy supply; advocating for the development of credible advanced technologies; challenging conventional wisdom; and promoting a workable energy and environmental policy. Through research papers, op-eds, and conference and media appearances, the Center strives to be a reliable resource for mature contributions to the energy policy debate.

The Center for Energy Policy and the Environment includes Manhattan Institute Senior Fellows Peter Huber and Max Schulz.
