President Shirley Ann Jackson revealed a new energy plan for the next U.S. president and Congress today in Washington, D.C.
The strategy, known as the 100-Day Energy Action Plan, was developed by the Council on Competitiveness, a nonpartisan group of corporate, labor, and university leaders. Jackson is vice chairwoman of the organization and co-chair of its Energy Security, Innovation and Sustainability Initiative.
The council began creating the 100-day plan more than a year ago with input from more than 200 chief executives, university presidents, union leaders and energy experts.
The plan offers solutions for providing affordable energy to businesses and individuals, producing domestic jobs, and protecting the environment.
Jackson has been speaking about energy issues on a regular basis around the world and also sits on the boards of directors of Marathon Oil Corp. and Public Service Enterprise Group, Inc.
