Frank Zarb was Assistant to the President for Energy Affairs in the Ford Administration. The press called him Ford’s “energy czar.” Zarb discusses the country's tortured history developing effective energy policies, and explores various historical and current perspectives on U.S. alternative energy policies. Zarb worked with President Ford, who made energy a high priority in his Administration, to make a comprehensive plan to move the U.S. away from foreign sources of energy, allowing for greater national security and allowing for a clearer path for both domestic and foreign policy.

This event is jointly sponsored by Varnum Law, the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation, and the University of Michigan’s Ford School of Public Policy.
