“I congratulate Sen. Baucus for jump starting a much needed debate on energy tax reform,” said Malcolm Woolf, senior vice president for policy and government affairs at Advanced Energy Economy, a national business association. “AEE hopes that his discussion draft leads to a new approach for energy tax policy, one that is technology neutral, provides stability and predictability, and uses market forces to drive better energy options.

“I applaud the leadership of these eight states in their collaborative effort to accelerate the adoption of electric and fuel cell vehicles,” said Graham Richard, CEO of Advanced Energy Economy, a national business association. “Representing one quarter of the U.S. car market, these states are established leaders in advanced energy development and deployment, and now they are showing the way toward new options for transportation. For consumers to have real choice in how they power their cars and trucks, the fueling infrastructure for electric and fuel cell vehicles needs to be in place. Thanks to these states, alternatives to gasoline-powered vehicles will get a true chance to compete in the marketplace.”

WASHINGTON, DC – Advanced Energy Economy (AEE), a national business organization representing the advanced energy industry, today unveiled a "Public Utility Commission Portal," an online database that provides insight into the official bodies responsible for energy regulation in the 50 states. The site also includes key energy data for each state and a comparison tool that allows users to analyze states side by side.

SAN FRANCISCO, CA – Advanced Energy Economy (AEE), a national business organization with a significant presence in California, today released a statement regarding California Governor Jerry Brown’s FY 2014 budget signing in which the organization reiterated its call for funds to be leveraged and used as intended to support the state’s advanced energy goals.

“As a business voice for technology-driven energy progress, AEE believes that President Obama’s plan moves the United States toward a smarter energy future, for economic as well as environmental benefits,” said Graham Richard, CEO of Advanced Energy Economy, a business association. “Energy efficiency standards will save money as well as energy. Utilizing public lands for their solar and wind resources follows in the footsteps of mineral resources and forestry products and should be pursued in the interest of national prosperity. New regulations on emissions will accelerate the replacement of outmoded power plants with high efficiency and low emitting technologies. All of these steps will make the U.S. more of a leader in advanced energy, which is a $1 trillion global market opportunity for American companies and American workers.”
