Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus delivered a speech on strategic energy use and the U.S. Navy at the Defense Attachés Association's annual conference, Strategic Resources and Global Security Trends, on November 18, 2009.

The event, an effort led in part by Sharon Burke, vice president for Natural Security at CNAS, brought together defense attachés from over 40 countries, as well as U.S. military service personnel and civilian leaders at the Department of Defense, to discuss global security trends, including natural resource scarcity, energy security and climate change.
