Energy Supplies Critical for US Economic Future

American Council for Capital Formation
June 2005

The American Council for Capital Formation and the National Association of Manufacturers hosted a joint policy briefing on Capitol Hill on June 13 focusing on promoting U.S. competitiveness through comprehensive energy policy reforms. The briefing featured opening remarks by Senator Chuck Hagel (R-NE), a leading voice on U.S. energy policy, and a panel discussion of a new analysis by the macroeconomic consulting firm Global Insight contrasting the impact of policies that encourage energy production with policies that restrict the supply of energy. Governor John Engler, NAM president and an ACCF director, moderated the briefing.

Dr. Margo Thorning, ACCF senior vice president and chief economist was joined by Mary Novak, managing director, Energy Services, Global Insight in presenting the findings of the macroeconomic study. The study included both a national overview of the impact of policy on energy production and supply and also separate studies on 17 individual states.
