Friend of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce

Energy and the Environment

Efficient and affordable energy

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce remains committed to working with Congress to achieve meaningful climate change legislation that provides a stable and growing economy, and promotes the development of new sources of energy and technologies across a range of industries.

However, recent legislation, including H.R.2454, the "American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009" (ACES), as currently drafted, is not the reform America needs.

The Chamber remains committed to working with Congress to draft meaningful, common-sense climate legislation that truly addresses global CO2 concentrations without submarining the economy.

Here are some of our priorities:

Climate Change

Energy's Link to Competitiveness and Security

Energy Diversity is Achievable

Emerging Energy Technologies
