This report defines the linkages between our nation’s need for greater energy security, the global imperative for environmental sustainability, and U.S. economic competitiveness at the enterprise and national levels. A more fulsome understanding of the various ways in which energy is now impacting – and driving – U.S. productivity and global competitiveness will add a critical new dimension to the national debate. This articulation of the business case for action and a policy path forward will create the foundations of a public-private sector action agenda, while also adding momentum to the case for energy system change.
