On behalf of the Business Roundtable, I am writing to express our enthusiastic support for S. 1392, the Energy Savings and Industrial Competitiveness Act of 2013, and urge Senate approval as soon as possible.
Access to reliable, affordable energy undergirds U.S. national and economic security, and a clean, healthy environment is essential for economic prosperity now and for future generations. Business Roundtable supports policies that capitalize on America’s strengths in technology and energy diversity to maximize U.S. energy options and preserve environmental quality. The business community has a special obligation to step forward and help build an environmentally and economically sustainable future.
