Mission Statement
The Energy
Policy Committee is a committee of the Institute of
Electrical and Electronics Engineers-United States of
America (IEEE-USA). The overall objective of the Energy
Policy Committee is to assist in the resolution of energy
problems through the provision of rational, sound, technical
and professional counsel based upon the best resources which
the IEEE is competent to bring to bear upon these problems
in the United States. A major portion of the efforts
of the Energy Policy Committee will be directed towards the
energy-related activities of the legislative and executive
branches at all levels of the United States government.
The Energy
Policy Committee may address all aspects of the United
States, regional, state, or local energy situation where the
engineering knowledge and skills of IEEE members can make a
constructive contribution. The Committee may provide a
vehicle for presenting the sound technical views of the IEEE
to the public and appropriate elements of government. The
Energy Policy Committee will prepare and present positions
in accordance with IEEE-USA procedures on any aspect of
governmental energy policy within the technical and
professional competence of the IEEE. The Energy Policy
Committee will work to provide to the IEEE-USA membership
balanced, technically sound information on energy related
matters.
IEEE-USA Co-Sponsors Congressional Briefing on Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicles
On 10 July, IEEE-USA co-sponsored a forum on Capitol Hill to discuss the emerging technology of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles and the role they can play in reducing the nation's gasoline usage and dependence on foreign oil. Dr. Paul Werbos, Program Director, National Science Foundation, spoke on "Towards Independence from Imported Oil," and Dr. Thomas Schneider, Energy Consultant, addressed "Transportation Efficiency Through Electric Drive and the Power Grid."
