The National Association of Manufacturers this week voiced strong support for the Democratic Blue Dog Coalition’s new comprehensive energy guidelines, calling the principles a welcome “break from the usual rhetoric.”

“Forward-thinking principles like the coalition’s will go a long way toward crafting a functional domestic energy infrastructure,” said NAM president John Engler. “Supporting these principles is the right course of action for our country, and will help lead the nation toward lower energy costs and a more secure energy future.”

The Blue Dog Energy Principles support domestic energy production, diversity, and technology development.
