Energy

Where We Stand
American economic prosperity is closely tied to the availability of affordable, abundant, and clean energy supplies. If we continue to restrict domestic production and refuse to build new energy infrastructure, jobs will be shipped overseas and America will be less competitive.

Environmental issues - including global climate change - must be answered with commonsense solutions that protect American jobs and economic growth.

Expanding on the policies of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the Chamber believes Congress and the executive branch must work together to increase energy efficiency, increase energy production from ALL sources including coal, oil, gas, nuclear, as well as renewable and alternative energies, update and expand energy infrastructure, power generation, and the electricity grid and expand investment in the development of new clean energy technologies.
