Federal Update on Manufacturing   NAM President John Engler supports, and advises against rolling back, Energy Policy Act of 2005  June 6, 2007 Speaking before the House Natural Resources Committee last week, National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) President John Engler sounded the warning call against backsliding on energy policies “achieved after years of diligent, informed work and policy debate,” and specifically cautioned the Committee to seek energy diversity and not create barriers to access. During the hearing on H.R. 2337, the “Energy Policy Reform and Revitalization Act of 2007,” Engler noted that the overwhelming bipartisan support of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (EPAct) – including many members of the House Natural Resources Committee – represented “the most significant, positive step in recent years in addressing energy market imbalances that have plagued manufacturing. Rolling back provisions within EPAct is demonstratively overlooking the best interests of our nation." “You cannot talk seriously about U.S. energy independence or energy security without embracing the tremendous domestic resources available in this nation,” Engler continued. “Lawmakers should not be seeking to favor one energy source over another, nor should it erect new barriers that discourage their development. Instead, we should be seeking a diverse, resilient, and reliable energy profile to stabilize costs and move the nation toward a more vibrant economy with jobs and opportunity for all." “You cannot separate energy, good jobs, and the economy,” he added. On a separate note, Engler praised the role of technology in future energy development and provisions within H.R 2337 to encourage carbon capture and sequestration technology. “Research and development is an essential part of how we strive for energy security,” Engler began. “Continuing in this spirit of innovation and forward-thinking policies will not only encourage technological progress, efficiency and safety, but will also hold the key to our stability and security.” View Engler’s oral testimony Contact: Kat Snodgrass Phone or e-mail: 202-637-3094 NAM update archive www.nam.org
