Energy Industry & Policy:
Need for Outreach & Dialogue

        Andrew Browning, Vice President
                   CONSUMER ENERGY ALLIANCE
                             OCTOBER 1, 2009
What is Consumer Energy Alliance?
• Non-Profit, non-partisan organization
• Committed to working with elected leaders, affected
  stakeholders and consumers to help create balanced
  energy policy and maintain stable energy supplies &
  prices
CEA’s Mission
• Expand dialogue between the energy producing & delivery and
  consuming sectors
• Our goals:
   – Improve overall understanding of energy issues
   – Give a voice to American consumers & the private energy sector
   – Educate Congress & policy-makers regarding development & utilization of
     the nation’s energy resources
   – Promote a balanced energy policy for America
Why Did We Create CEA?
• Lack of voice for real consumers and customers in energy debate
    – Public debate too polarized
• Opportunity for consensus-based balanced energy policy
• Often information is incomplete, one-sided
• Create mechanisms for broad public input/comments on crucial
  energy issues
• Platform to share Facts
• Move debate outside the Beltway
Who joins CEA?
• Horizontal approach with 120-plus affiliated organizations
• 200,000-plus consumer-advocates nationwide
      Energy Industry (Upstream & Downstream)      Trucking & Food Distribution
      Alternative Energy                           Home Builders
      Small Business                               Restaurants
      Retirees                                     Geology
      Military                                     Publishing
      Travel & Tourism                             Academia
      Highway Users                                Elected Officials
      Manufacturing
CEA Communications Meetings
         & Energy 101 Series
• Monthly communications meetings bring Affiliates together
    – Engaging in dialogue about balanced energy policy & outreach
• Presentations by our Affiliates to our Affiliates
    – Educating ourselves so we can better educate others
CEA Priorities & Initiatives
• Continuing to build a nationwide network of supporters
  through increased educational outreach for balanced
  energy policy:
   –   Placing editorials through news outlets nationwide
   –   Talk Radio & TV
   –   Expanding social media, including CEA Blog
   –   Increasing bipartisan Congressional outreach
CEA Priorities & Initiatives: 2010
• Greatly expanding policy & outreach activities during 2010:
   –   Supporting a balanced energy policy & stable supply & prices
   –   Energy Development = Job Creation
   –   Continuing push to increase access for offshore & onshore development
        • Production/Supply Focus (e.g. LIHEAP Offset; burden on low income consumers)
   –   Targeting state & national campaigns against Low Carbon Fuel Standard
   –   Initiating Oceans Policy Campaign for balanced oceans governance
   –   Promoting hydraulic fracturing to maintain stable energy supply & prices
   –   Working with Regulatory Utility Commissioners through NARUC (Access; CEA
       Luncheons; HF Resolution; etc..)
CEA Approach:
           Strength In Numbers
•   Open dialogue on balanced energy policy needs to begin HERE
     –   Increased Oil & Gas Supply
     –   Expanded Use of Alternative Energy
     –   Improved Conservation & Energy Efficiency
     –   Energy Education: What energy means in the daily lives of consumers
•   Consumer groups welcome the energy industry’s message 
•   Energy/consumer dialogues help introduce some groups to the equation
•   National campaigns bring energy industry & stakeholders together
•   Take messaging to your customers & consumers
     –   Unified, coherent messaging
     –   Industry/consumer coalition & message-building
     –   Effective dialogue among interested stakeholders
     –   Long-term comprehensive grassroots & grasstops campaign
CEA – How does this relate to
you?
  Trucking - 1st half of 2008 – 1,900 trucking
  cos. with at least 5 trucks failed
  Airlines – shutdown of 10 airlines and
  36,000 job cuts – significant air service cuts
  nationally
  Manufacturing – U.S. has lost more than
  3.7 million high-wage jobs since 200
  Chemistry – since 1990s, the US chemical
  industry has gone from a trade surplus of
  $20.3 billion to a trade deficit of $9 billion

                    ance.org
Access & the Five-Year Program
• Every five years, U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS), responsible
  for U.S. offshore oil & gas leasing, develops a program
• Program determines where & how often oil & gas lease sales will occur
  over the five year period
• MMS accepts comments regarding public’s interests and concerns over
  offshore oil and gas development
• CEA Five-Year Program campaigns
    –   Push to maximize offshore access & build support for robust programs
    –   Enhance dialogue with government & stakeholders
    –   Balance the record for U.S. access
Access & the Five-Year Program
• Robust external outreach
  campaign garnered more than
  350,000 comments in support of
  offshore energy
   – Our industry & coalition efforts
     accounted for more than 71% of
     the 530,000+ comments received
     by MMS
• Strong efforts by CEA Affiliates,
  were primarily responsible for
  such a significant positive
  response – almost four times the
  response from the 2007-2012
  comment period
Low Carbon Fuel Standard
• CEA has initiated targeted campaigns & created
  www.secureourfuels.org to educate consumers:
   – LCFS means higher prices at the pump, fewer good-paying jobs for
     Americans, complicated trading schemes and expanded
     dependence on dangerous, unstable energy.
   – As currently proposed, LCFS means:
       • Less Competition for Foreign Suppliers
       • Lots of Confusion, Few Savings, Few Real
           Opportunities
CEA – Low Carbon Fuel Standard




            www.consumerenergyalli
                  ance.org
CEA – Low Carbon Fuel Standard
  • IEA Estimates 85 Mmbd in 2007 to 106 in
    2030
  • Most of the consumption increase will come
    from non-OECD countries

  • 1. Energy Industry & Policy: Need for Outreach & Dialogue Andrew Browning, Vice President CONSUMER ENERGY ALLIANCE OCTOBER 1, 2009
  • 2. What is Consumer Energy Alliance? • Non-Profit, non-partisan organization • Committed to working with elected leaders, affected stakeholders and consumers to help create balanced energy policy and maintain stable energy supplies & prices
  • 3. CEA’s Mission • Expand dialogue between the energy producing & delivery and consuming sectors • Our goals: – Improve overall understanding of energy issues – Give a voice to American consumers & the private energy sector – Educate Congress & policy-makers regarding development & utilization of the nation’s energy resources – Promote a balanced energy policy for America
  • 4. Why Did We Create CEA? • Lack of voice for real consumers and customers in energy debate – Public debate too polarized • Opportunity for consensus-based balanced energy policy • Often information is incomplete, one-sided • Create mechanisms for broad public input/comments on crucial energy issues • Platform to share Facts • Move debate outside the Beltway
  • 5. Who joins CEA? • Horizontal approach with 120-plus affiliated organizations • 200,000-plus consumer-advocates nationwide  Energy Industry (Upstream & Downstream)  Trucking & Food Distribution  Alternative Energy  Home Builders  Small Business  Restaurants  Retirees  Geology  Military  Publishing  Travel & Tourism  Academia  Highway Users  Elected Officials  Manufacturing
  • 6. CEA Communications Meetings & Energy 101 Series • Monthly communications meetings bring Affiliates together – Engaging in dialogue about balanced energy policy & outreach • Presentations by our Affiliates to our Affiliates – Educating ourselves so we can better educate others
  • 7. CEA Priorities & Initiatives • Continuing to build a nationwide network of supporters through increased educational outreach for balanced energy policy: – Placing editorials through news outlets nationwide – Talk Radio & TV – Expanding social media, including CEA Blog – Increasing bipartisan Congressional outreach
  • 8. CEA Priorities & Initiatives: 2010 • Greatly expanding policy & outreach activities during 2010: – Supporting a balanced energy policy & stable supply & prices – Energy Development = Job Creation – Continuing push to increase access for offshore & onshore development • Production/Supply Focus (e.g. LIHEAP Offset; burden on low income consumers) – Targeting state & national campaigns against Low Carbon Fuel Standard – Initiating Oceans Policy Campaign for balanced oceans governance – Promoting hydraulic fracturing to maintain stable energy supply & prices – Working with Regulatory Utility Commissioners through NARUC (Access; CEA Luncheons; HF Resolution; etc..)
  • 9. CEA Approach: Strength In Numbers • Open dialogue on balanced energy policy needs to begin HERE – Increased Oil & Gas Supply – Expanded Use of Alternative Energy – Improved Conservation & Energy Efficiency – Energy Education: What energy means in the daily lives of consumers • Consumer groups welcome the energy industry’s message  • Energy/consumer dialogues help introduce some groups to the equation • National campaigns bring energy industry & stakeholders together • Take messaging to your customers & consumers – Unified, coherent messaging – Industry/consumer coalition & message-building – Effective dialogue among interested stakeholders – Long-term comprehensive grassroots & grasstops campaign
  • 10. CEA – How does this relate to you? Trucking - 1st half of 2008 – 1,900 trucking cos. with at least 5 trucks failed Airlines – shutdown of 10 airlines and 36,000 job cuts – significant air service cuts nationally Manufacturing – U.S. has lost more than 3.7 million high-wage jobs since 200 Chemistry – since 1990s, the US chemical industry has gone from a trade surplus of $20.3 billion to a trade deficit of $9 billion www.consumerenergyalli ance.org
  • 11. Access & the Five-Year Program • Every five years, U.S. Minerals Management Service (MMS), responsible for U.S. offshore oil & gas leasing, develops a program • Program determines where & how often oil & gas lease sales will occur over the five year period • MMS accepts comments regarding public’s interests and concerns over offshore oil and gas development • CEA Five-Year Program campaigns – Push to maximize offshore access & build support for robust programs – Enhance dialogue with government & stakeholders – Balance the record for U.S. access
  • 12. Access & the Five-Year Program • Robust external outreach campaign garnered more than 350,000 comments in support of offshore energy – Our industry & coalition efforts accounted for more than 71% of the 530,000+ comments received by MMS • Strong efforts by CEA Affiliates, were primarily responsible for such a significant positive response – almost four times the response from the 2007-2012 comment period
  • 13. Low Carbon Fuel Standard • CEA has initiated targeted campaigns & created www.secureourfuels.org to educate consumers: – LCFS means higher prices at the pump, fewer good-paying jobs for Americans, complicated trading schemes and expanded dependence on dangerous, unstable energy. – As currently proposed, LCFS means: • Less Competition for Foreign Suppliers • Lots of Confusion, Few Savings, Few Real Opportunities
  • 14. CEA – Low Carbon Fuel Standard www.consumerenergyalli ance.org
  • 15. CEA – Low Carbon Fuel Standard • IEA Estimates 85 Mmbd in 2007 to 106 in 2030 • Most of the consumption increase will come from non-OECD countries www.consumerenergyalli ance.org
