On November 14, Northwestern Michigan College’s International Affairs Forum presents a vital exploration of global energy trends with John Pournoor, Ph.D., CEO of Government Analytica and former VP of governmental affairs at 3M. The event is sponsored by Mercantile Bank.
Dr. Pournoor will “explore global energy developments through the lens of key geopolitical megatrends that are shaping our future,” with an emphasis on Michigan’s role. With “44 natural gas storage fields” and extensive renewable resources, Michigan has the potential to “recharge our future electric vehicles” and strengthen energy security for industries statewide. Dr. Pournoor will address the “increasing segmentation of global supply and demand” and “geopolitical events which jeopardize and limit supply.” Additionally, the talk will highlight “how environmental policy increasingly drives industrial policy and economic transformation” and provide insights on U.S. energy policy influenced by public perceptions. Registered attendees receive a complimentary digital copy of 12 Global Megatrends: 2025 Edition.
