On Monday, ACEEE and AMMEX hosted a briefing in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on the need for robust appropriations of S. 661, Restoring America's Leadership in Manufacturing through Energy Efficiency Act of 2009. The briefing went quite well; there were many people in attendance, including several Senate staffers.
Neal Elliott of ACEEE, Chip Foley of AISI, Fred Quan representing GMIC, and Rick Boyd of Nova Precision Casting gave compelling statements as to the efficacy of R&D funding and public-private research and technology partnerships in the strengthening of American manufacturing and the potential for further decreases in manufacturing energy consumption and intensity.
We thank our speakers for helping out at the briefing, as well as those who were in attendance.
