Without question, our economy—in fact our way of life—is highly dependent on access to stable, affordable supplies of energy. We must unify as a nation in a bipartisan manner around a new era in energy security. The BPC Energy Project supports a fundamental reassessment of America’s energy policy goals, decision-making structures, and policies to place energy security at the very center of energy policy.

Energy Project Initiatives:

• American Energy Innovation Council
• Energy & Environment Initiative
• Energy Innovation Initiative
• Energy Security Initiative

While our new challenges are daunting, our nation’s new energy opportunities are even greater. The BPC Energy Project will work with our government and our nation’s great resource of scientists, engineers, and business leaders to rededicate the nation to addressing this critical challenge.

In recent decades, energy policy has been marked by uncertain goals and shifting priorities, an inability to measure the impact of our choices, and a stark lack of accountability across the government. Against the backdrop of unsustainable national debt, we recognize the necessity of targeted, limited and strategic investments. Still we share the strong view that investment in energy technologies and security are so central to American interests that they must be a budgetary and policy priority.

For all of these reasons, the BPC Energy Project supports a better articulation of our national and economic security goals, and clear mechanisms and accountability to measure our nation’s progress.
