In December, ACEEE and 26 other leading trade associations, industrial firms, and NGOs signed a letter in support of provisions in upcoming jobs legislation that will create jobs, improve energy efficiency in manufacturing, and help make American industry more competitive.
The letter can be read in full here [PDF].
Because the House of Representatives passed their own version of a jobs bill last month, the coalition letter was sent to Senators, specifically those on the Energy and Natural Resources Committee, those who are members of the Northeast-Midwest Senate Coalition, as well as to Majority Leader Reid and Minority Leader McConnell. The letter was also sent to key executive officials, including Energy Secretary Chu, Commerce Secretary Locke, and Senior Counselor for Manufacturing Policy Ron Bloom.
The Senate is expected to release preliminary drafts of its jobs bill in the next few days.
