As President Obama finishes his first year in office, oil policy has been overshadowed by health care, the economy and national security concerns.  Outside the spotlight, a major rewrite is taking shape -- but are we moving fast enough to avoid a possible oil shock?

This panel discussion brings together experts on Detroit, international oil markets, and U.S. consumer behavior to game out where America's oil policy is heading, and where we're likely to find bumps in the road.

Delving into the interactions between new fuel economy standards, the federal bailout of the auto companies, ethanol and electric vehicle mandates, and the oil industry's expectations of coming climate policies, the panel will explore the likely effects on the U.S. economy -- and what it means for the financial wherewithal of America's middle class.

A Boxed lunch will be provided.
