A Transition Plan for Securing America's Energy Future Presented to President-elect Barack Obama and the 111th U.S. Congress

by on

News release: “The U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for 21st Century Energy has unveiled its Transition Plan for Securing America’s Energy Future, an energy policy roadmap with 88 concrete recommendations and detailed timelines for President-elect Barack Obama and the 111th Congress.”

  • “For over 40 years, the United States has had an inadequate, contradictory, and shortsighted approach with regard to our energy future. It is time for a strategic change of course. We can no longer ignore the consequences of not having a plan which is bold and comprehensive. Energy is a national security issue, and it is an international security issue of the highest order. Global demand will increase by more than 50 percent between now and 2030 – and perhaps by as much as 30 percent here in the United States. We must develop new, affordable, diverse, and clean sources of energy that will underpin our nation’s economy and keep us strong both at home and abroad. Our energy future must address growing shortfalls in infrastructure capacity and emerging environmental issues.”
