Journalists from 18 countries in the Western Hemisphere participated in the Washington Foreign Press Center’s “The Future of Energy in the Americas” reporting tour. The multi-city program, which included visits to Washington, DC, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; and Raleigh, North Carolina, provided an opportunity for the journalists to deepen their understanding of traditional and alternative means of energy production in the United States, as well as explore ways in which countries in the Americas and Caribbean can partner with U.S. entities to expand investment and trade in this key sector. It also showcased U.S. leadership in energy policy, and highlighted the benefits that cross-border energy partnerships offer the global community.
