A Business Plan For America’s Energy Future

As business leaders, we feel that America’s
current energy system is deficient in ways
that cause serious harm to our economy, our
national security, and our environment.

To correct
these deficiencies, we must make a serious
commitment to modernizing our energy system
with cleaner, more efficient technologies.
Such a commitment should include both
robust, public investments in innovative energy
technologies as well as policy reforms to deploy
these technologies on a large scale. By tapping
America’s entrepreneurial spirit and longstanding
leadership in technology innovation, we
can set a course for a prosperous, sustainable
economy—and take control of our energy future.

Conversely, if we continue with the energy
status quo, we will expose ourselves to risks
that pose significant threats to our way of life.
