The Institute, in affiliation with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, was created to lead the necessary effort to educate the public on America's energy needs and help create forward-looking policies to increase and diversify the nation's supply of fuel and power from all sources.  

We are non-partisan and an advocate for what is best for our nation. Energy is a vital national security issue and, therefore, we must put our nation's interests first and foremost. The Institute is committed to working with all energy-related organizations, including environmental groups, to achieve a broad-based consensus on a national energy policy.

In the coming year, we will conduct policy, economic, and public opinion research surrounding a broad range of energy questions. We will hold a series of meetings, hearings, fact-finding missions, and conferences in cities around the United States and overseas. Please learn more about our activities by visiting the links on this website.

Thank you for your interest in the Institute for 21st Century Energy. We are excited about the challenges that lay ahead, and we invite all citizens, organizations, industries, and governments to join us in achieving our goal: To ensure affordable, clean, and secure energy for America's economy, our environment, and our national security.
