To meet rising energy demand, America must permit faster, build smarter, and innovate. Marty Durbin, President of the Chamber's Global Energy Institute, opened the Energy Future Forum—hosted by the U.S. Chamber in partnership with RealClear and the National Center for Energy Analytics with a one-word summary of the event: "More." More electrons. Quicker permitting. Greater urgency.
Why it matters: Rising energy costs impact families and businesses. Without more energy infrastructure investment, families will continue to feel the financial pinch, and businesses of all sizes will lose ground to foreign competitors.
What they said: The forum drew a who's who of energy, technology, and business leaders, including CEOs from across sectors. Among the highlights:
- FERC Commissioner David Rosner cut to the chase: "The number one way to increase energy affordability is to build more infrastructure."
- Daniel Yergin, Vice-Chairman of S&P Global, made the case for expanding America's total energy supply—adding more of everything—so the country is less vulnerable to price spikes, supply disruptions, and geopolitical shocks.
What we're doing: The U.S. Chamber is urging Congress to pass lasting, bipartisan permitting reform that cuts red tape, improves transparency, and gives companies the certainty they need to build, grow, and prosper. |
