Rockefeller last month wrote a letter urging President Obama to create or support job training programs in areas with plentiful [...]
Sen. Shaheen: ‘Efficiency is the cheapest and fastest way to start addressing our energy needs’
Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) published an important piece on The Hill reiterating the need for policies that strengthen America’s energy infrastructure from the bottom up. It’s a welcome and complementary addition to ACC’s From Chemistry to Energy campaign, which calls for strong policies and creative, economically sound approaches to encourage greater energy efficiency. The post [...]
Why “From Chemistry to Energy” calls for improving residential, commercial and industrial energy efficiency
Energy efficiency is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to achieve energy and cost savings, and no business, household or industrial facility could become more energy efficient without the innovations and discoveries driven by the chemical industry. That’s why “From Chemistry to Energy” is calling for maximizing energy efficiency’s contribution to the nation’s [...]
Why ‘From Chemistry to Energy’ calls for robust and responsible production of domestic shale gas
ACC successfully kicked off its From Chemistry to Energy campaign on Capitol Hill yesterday, calling on lawmakers to develop a comprehensive energy strategy pillared by the robust and responsible production of domestic shale gas, improved residential, commercial and industrial energy efficiency, and expanded adoption of energy recovery programs. Here are some of the ways in [...]
And the “From Chemistry to Energy” Zooppa contest winners are…
