Energy for America Video Discusses Abundant American Energy Resources

Affordable energy is the lifeblood of a strong and vibrant economy, and the massive supply of available energy resources in North America means that the United States is literally sitting on the greatest hope to create jobs, revive our economy, and again lead the world in energy production. Yet recent years have been marked by increasingly onerous regulatory barriers to the promise of affordable domestic energy. Government policies have been built on flawed and static assumptions about energy resources, leading to a 40 year decline in energy production. Federal lands — both onshore and offshore — are locked in outdated moratoriums and other bureaucratic delays.

Check out this video by Energy for America discussing America’s abundant energy resources.

PACE Exclusive Interview with NAM President Jay Timmons

As part of the release of its documentary project entitled Unplugged, PACE today has released an exclusive extended interview with Jay Timmons, President and CEO of the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM). The association is the nation’s largest industrial trade organization, representing nearly 12 million manufacturing workers and operating in all 50 states. In past years, NAM has been one of Washington, D.C.’s most influential voices on the direction of U.S. energy policy.

Mr. Timmons, who interviewed with PACE at NAM headquarters in the nation’s capital in April 2011, discusses the direction of U.S. energy and the need to maintain the reliable and affordable flow of power to the nation’s manufacturing sector. He also discusses current regulatory policies from the EPA and the effect those policies could have on American competitiveness.

PACE Launches Documentary On U.S. Energy Policy

In an effort to bring national energy policy into focus, PACE has launched an original documentary entitled Unplugged: Reconnecting American Energy Policy With Reality.

The documentary, shot during the last year in locations across the U.S., features the perspectives of consumers, federal legislators, business leaders, energy experts, and environmentalists who are often overlooked by mainstream media coverage of energy issues.

“Unplugged is all about recalibrating and refocusing the American energy debate,” said Lance Brown, PACE Executive Director. “The people of our nation simply must know the truth about our energy options.”

Currently, the 20-minute documentary is available for viewing online at www.unpluggedmovie.com and is also being screened at a series of grassroots events across the Southeast. Viewers can learn more about the documentary, watch bonus footage, and connect to the documentary through Facebook, on the website.

EPA Regulations in Crosshairs of New Ad Campaign

With a vote in the U.S. Senate possibly occurring as early as this week, the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) has launched a series of television ads that highlight the potential job losses from new EPA regulations. The ads are aimed not at the agency, but at the regulations themselves.

“The NAM’s new TV and radio ads are just the beginning of a sustained educational campaign about the EPA’s excessive regulations and their effect on the U.S. manufacturing economy,” says Jay Timmons, President and CEO of NAM.

To view the ad campaign, visit www.NoNewRegs.org. PACE encourages visitors to join this important fight by asking lawmakers to ensure EPA regulations do not unnecessarily restrict America’s manufacturing economy.
