President's Energy Security Advisory and Oversight Board

Finally, in recognition of the fact that it is the private sector that will actually drive any transformation in the country’s energy economy, the new administration should consider creating an independent, nonpartisan advisory board, modeled on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board (PIAB, formerly the PFIAB).
