“Assuring Access to Clean and Competitive Energy.”
Council on Competitiveness Recommendations to Build a Diverse and Cost Effective Energy Portfolio
Published September 2009
The Council Recommends that:
• Congress establish a national, low-carbon energy standard for electric utilities that encompass a minimum of 25 percent renewables by 2025.
• Congress establish a price floor for gasoline that is sufficient to accelerate demand for fuel-efficient vehicles.
• Congress enact legislation that will result in the establishment of a consistent, predictable and transparent price on carbon emissions.
