Reliable,
Affordable and Sustainable: We embrace energy policies that promote
reliable, affordable and sustainable energy that will help secure continued economic vitality.
Prudent Regulation: We support regulatory policies that promote
Utah’s long-term
economic success through wise investment in energy capacity.
Comprehensive Policies: We recognize that energy policy is intertwined with economic
and environmental policy. Energy policies should be evaluated in a broad context.
2009 Public Policy Priorities:
Streamline Regulatory Processes:
Utah should review regulatory processes to
determine what reforms are necessary to stimulate long-term investment in Utah’s
energy future. Necessary reform should be implemented.
Develop Long-term Strategy: The
Chamber’s Energy Taskforce will develop
comprehensive energy strategy. This strategy will identify and recommend policies
and actions to mitigate the growth in the demand for energy and recommend policies
that will facilitate affordable alternatives to CO2 emitting energy processes.
Address Energy, Economics and the Environment: The
Chamber will support
policy that coordinates the state’s energy, economic and environmental policies.
Recent Accomplishments:
The Salt
Lake Chamber convened an energy Task Force in October 2008. The task force approved a work plan and is engaged in providing solutions to this critical issue.
