Karen Harbert, President and CEO of the Institute for 21st Century Energy (Institute), an affiliate

of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the world’s largest

business federation, representing the interests of more than three million businesses and

organizations of every size, sector and region.

The mission of the Institute is to unify policymakers, regulators, business leaders, and the

American public behind common sense energy strategy to help keep America secure, prosperous,

and clean. In that regard we hope to be of service to this Committee, this Congress as a whole,

and the administration.

I appreciate this opportunity to discuss the Spruce No. 1 mine (Spruce Mine) permit revocation

and the potential impact to capital investment and jobs. First, I would like to clarify that this is

not about mining, and specifically whether strip mining should be permitted under federal law.

This is not about whether coal which supplies 40 percent of our electricity should or shouldn’t be

part of our energy mix. This case is about the rule of law and regulatory certainty and the type of

regulatory regime that the law allows for and that we wish to have in the United States. </div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">
</div><div style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Even

more fundamentally, the outcome of this case will signal whether America is open for business

and safe for long term investment.

One of our great strengths as a country is how we hold the rule of law sacrosanct coupled with a

regulatory system with appropriate checks and balances to protect the regulated. If we were to

move to a system embodied by the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA) action in the

Spruce Mine case, hundreds of projects and businesses in America today could question whether

they too might retroactively have their lawful permits revoked or recaptured. New projects will

have to determine how to calculate risks associated with changing viewpoints at a future point

from a regulatory agency. This will reduce and delay a broad range of projects, increase the cost

of doing business, and reduce the number of jobs at a time when job creation is most critical.

The Chamber supports environmental safeguards and clear standards that are applied

consistently to all businesses. But just as businesses must be accountable for the decisions...</div><div></div><div>ucs negin 10 21</div><div>

Even when directly asked, its executives have not admitted that human activity is the cause of climate change. The Chamber has criticized both the targets set out in the Paris Agreement as well as the measures proposed to meet them, and yet it is still granted a seat at the table at the UNFCCC. Further, it does nothing to promote the cutting of emissions and has aggressively sought to stop domestic climate policies in their tracks. Links to the fossil fuel industry In 2015 Exxon Mobil gave the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation US$1,000,000 for “public information and policy research,” pledging a total of US$5,000,000 between 2014-2018.49 It has also received funding from other big polluters, like Chevron 50 and Peabody Energy.51-52 Executives from Peabody Energy, ConocoPhillips, and Sempra Energy also sit on its board of directors.53 What it says about climate change and its causes The Chamber publicly claims it “strongly supports continued environmental improvements, including sensible approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”54 In March 2014, for example, Karen Alderman Harbert, president and CEO of the Chamber’s Institute for 21st Century Energy, insisted that the Chamber has “been a proponent on research and development, on advanced technologies, [and] the biggest supporter on energy efficiency legislation.”55

Only after repeated questions on this topic did she concede that “it is causedby lots of different things,” going on to describe the scientific debate about the causes of climate change as an“ongoing discussion.”55
Public stance on the UNFCCC or the Paris Agreement
In response to the Paris Agreement, Vice President for Climate and Technology Stephen Eule lamented “[t]heWhite House’s overall domestic strategy of making energy more expensive and less abundant,” which, he said,was meant “to satisfy international constituencies, many of whom compete against the United States.”56 He alsodescribed the U.S.’ pledged reduction in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to keep global temperature rise under2 degrees Celsius as “completely unrealistic.”57-58
Track record on climate policy? Disputed Paris Agreement but stresses inclusion in deciding its fate.At COP21 in Paris, the Chamber stressed the need for business inclusion at UNFCCC negotiations and called for climatenegotiators to “establish a defined and recognized role for business engagement in the final Paris Agreement.”59 But itscritiques of critical elements of the Paris Agreement raise questions as to where the Chamber’s true interest lies.? Opposed GHG emissions reductions.In February 2017, the Chamber lobbied for the withdrawal of a policy regulating GHG performance measures,describing it as “a particularly egregious case of regulatory overreach.”60 It asked that the U.S. government “reissue arevised rule without the GHG emissions measure and with any additional changes consistent with the administration’sfocus on regulatory reform.”60? Top priorities include increasing fossil fuel production.Its priorities for 2017 include calls for increases in oil, gas, and coal production61 and promises to oppose “efforts toregulate greenhouse gases under the existing Clean Air Act==

WASHINGTON, DC - D.O.E. (DOE) Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs Karen Alderman Harbert today announced that she will resign her position in late February. As Assistant Secretary, she has served as the primary policy advisor to U.S. Secretary of Energy Samuel W. Bodman and the D.O.E. on domestic and international energy issues, new policy initiatives, climate change programs and regulatory concerns since December 2004. She is leaving D.O.E. to join the U.S. Chamber of Commerce's Institute for 21st Century Energy as the Executive Vice President and Managing Director.

Secretary Bodman today made the following statement on the resignation of Assistant Secretary Karen Harbert:

"The D.O.E. has benefited greatly from Karen's leadership as Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs. As a member of my senior leadership team, her experience and total commitment to the job have enabled the Department to accomplish many of its priorities and have been essential in implementing the President's energy policies. As the Department's chief advisor on international affairs, Karen's cogent and informed views have been invaluable. She has negotiated and advanced key bilateral and multilateral partnerships that will strengthen not only the energy security of this country, but the global community as well. I thank Karen for her distinguished service and wish her, her husband, and their 2 children the very best."

Assistant Secretary Harbert's resignation will be effective February 22, 2008. Harbert has held senior positions in several Administrations as well as in multilateral international organizations and the private sector. She also currently serves as Vice-Chairman of the International Energy Agency, which advises its 27 member nations on energy policy issues and orchestrates international responses to energy supply disruptions.

In 2015, the chamber spent more than $80 million on lobbying efforts. <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s1" style="font-family: " times="Times" new="New" roman="Roman" font-size="font-size" large="large" text-decoration-line="text-decoration-line" none="none">[1] </a></div><div style="text-align: left;">

</div><div style="text-align: left;">The U.S. Chamber of Commerce runs the <a href="http://www.energyxxi.org/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">Institute for 21st Century Energy</a>, a group with the stated mission to “unify policymakers, regulators, business leaders, and the American public behind a common sense energy strategy to help keep America secure, prosperous, and clean. ” <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s4" style="text-decoration-line: none;">[</a><a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s4" style="text-decoration-line: none;">4]</a></div>

<div style="text-align: left; line-height: 18.59px;">According to the institute's president, Karen A. Harbert, the federal government “has not kept pace with the changing the [sic] landscape” and that in order to “make America a true energy superpower” the country should pursue “offshore energy development” and improve infrastructure. The institute also <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#coal" style=" text-decoration: none;">opposes regulations on coal</a>, advocates <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#renewable" style=" text-decoration: none;">eliminating subsidies for renewable energy</a>, and has <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#2016 epa brief" style=" text-decoration: none;">fought against the EPA</a>.<a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s5" style=" text-decoration: none;"> [5]</a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">During a hearing in the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Senator Bob Menendez <a href="http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2014/03/here-is-exactly-what-the-chamber-of-commerce-thinks-about-global-warming/447177/" target="_blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">asked the Chamber's Karen Harbert whether the US Chamber of Commerce agrees that climate change is real and caused by humans</a>.  After being repeatedly pressed by Menendez for a direct response, Harbert admitted that  “The climate is warming, without a doubt,” however she claimed the science was not settled as to whether it is caused by human activites: <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s9" style="text-decoration-line: none;">[9]</a></div>

“It is caused by lots of different things, and you can't say that climate change is only caused by humans,” Harbert said. “I think the science is what you're pointing to, and we have a robust debate going on in this country, as we should, and those that would say everything is settled sort of undercut the integrity of science. It's an ongoing discussion.”

Grist magazine reports that the <a href="http://grist.org/climate-energy/u-s-chamber-of-commerce-joins-anti-solar-crusade/" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">U.S. Chamber of Commerce is the latest conservative group to spread anti-solar messages</a>.  In an email, the Chamber opposes net metering, a policy that pays back people who are feeding solar power back into the grid from solar panels.<a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s69" style=" text-decoration: none;"> [69]</a>

“While your neighbor is receiving a credit (in the form of a reduced electricity bill) for putting excess energy back on the electricity grid, these outdated net metering policies overlook the costs to use, maintain, and update the grid. So, who is actually paying those costs? You — and everyone else!” The U.S. Chamber email reads. <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s69" style=" text-decoration: none;">[69]</a>

</blockquote>

The Chamber's Institute for 21st Century Energy also posted a video to its YouTube channel on their anti-net-metering case: <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s69" style=" text-decoration: none;">[69]</a>

June 14, 2016

A Senate report from Senate Democrats including Senator Elizabeth Warren and Senator Bernie Sanders found that the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2016/06/15/business/us-chamber-of-commerce-tobacco-climate-change.html?r=0" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">U.S.Chamber of Commerce's “lobbying is at odds with its own public positions</a>,” The New York Times reports. <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s60" style=" text-decoration: none;">[60]</a>

The Senate report found that none of the U.S. Chamber's 108 board members explicitly supported the group's policies on tobacco and climate change. While the Chamber “strongly professes that it is anti-tobacco” and has claimed to support “efforts to reduce greenhouse gas emissions,” it continued to <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/01/business/international/us-chamber-works-globally-to-fight-antismoking-measures.html" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">work globally to fight antismoking measures</a> and opposed theEPA's regulatory measures on climate change.<a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s61" style=" text-decoration: none;"> </a><a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s60" style=" text-decoration: none;">[60]</a>, <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s61" style=" text-decoration: none;">[61]</a>

The Senate report also found many of the board members had opposing views to the Chamber: “Approximately half of the companies on the chamber’s board of directors have adopted anti-tobacco and pro-climate positions that contrast sharply with the chamber’s activities. Not a single board member explicitly supported the chamber’s lobbying efforts.” <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s60" style=" text-decoration: none;">[60]</a>

Members are often left in the dark about the Chamber's activities. Ten companies serving on the board said they “had no knowledge of or input into the chamber’s lobbying activities on tobacco or climate issues.” <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s60" style=" text-decoration: none;">[60]</a>

The New York Times previously reported on the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2015/08/04/us/obama-unveils-plan-to-sharply-limit-greenhouse-gas-emissions.html" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">Chamber's efforts to combat President Obama's climate change regulations</a>. The chamber's strategy included regular meetings with corporate lawyers, coal lobbyists, and Republican political strategists. <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s62" style=" text-decoration: none;">[62]</a>

June 13, 2016

The US Chamber of Commerce was listed as a creditor in <a href="http://www.prwatch.org/news/2016/06/13114/peabody-coal-bankruptcy-reveals-extensive-funding-climate-denial-network" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">Peabody Energy's 2016 bankruptcy filings</a>, reports the Center for Media and Democracy (CMD/PRWatch).<a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s65" style=" text-decoration: none;"> [65]</a>

While the <a href="https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/2859772" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">available bankruptcy documents</a> do not list the scale or dates of funding, they outline Peabody Energy's financial ties to a large network of groups promoting climate change denial. <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s66" style=" text-decoration: none;">[66]</a>

Prominent individuals appearing in the documents include climate deniers <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/willie-soon" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">Willie Soon</a>, <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/richard-lindzen" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">Richard Lindzen</a>, <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/roy-spencer" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">Roy Spencer</a> and <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/2014/10/31/richard-berman-tobacco-to-fossil-fuels" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">Richard Berman</a>. The long list of organizations also includes groups such as <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/americans-for-prosperity" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">Americans for Prosperity</a>, <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/american-legislative-exchange-council" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">American Legislative Exchange Council</a>, <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/committee-constructive-tomorrow" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">CFACT</a>, <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/institute-energy-research" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">Institute for Energy Research</a>, <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/state-policy-network" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">State Policy Network</a>, the <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce" target="blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">U.S. Chamber of Commerce</a> and dozens more. <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s67" style=" text-decoration: none;">[67]</a>

<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/jun/13/peabody-energy-coal-mining-climate-change-denial-funding" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">The Guardian also analysed and reported on the Peabody bankruptcy findings</a>: <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s68" style=" text-decoration: none;">[68]</a>

“These groups collectively are the heart and soul of climate denial,” said Kert Davies, founder of the Climate Investigation Center, who has spent 20 years tracking funding for climate denial. “It’s the broadest list I have seen of one company funding so many nodes in the denial machine.”

The company’s filings reveal funding for a range of organisations which have fought Barack Obama’s plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions, and denied the very existence of climate change. […]

Among Peabody’s beneficiaries, the Center for the Study of Carbon Dioxide and Global Change has insisted – wrongly – that carbon emissions are not a threat but “the elixir of life” while the American Legislative Exchange Council is trying to overturn Environmental Protection Agency rules cutting emissions from power plants. Meanwhile, Americans for Prosperity campaigns against carbon pricing. The Oklahoma chapter was on the list. […]

“The breadth of the groups with financial ties to Peabody is extraordinary. Thinktanks, litigation groups, climate scientists, political organisations, dozens of organisations blocking action on climate all receiving funding from the coal industry,” said Nick Surgey, director of research for the Center for Media and Democracy.

“We expected to see some denial money, but it looks like Peabody is the treasury for a very substantial part of the climate denial movement.”

The <a href="http://www.motherjones.com/files/USCOCPetitionJune232009.pdf" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">US Chamber of Commerce's submitted comments (PDF) conclude:</a> there are “profound and wide-ranging scientific uncertainties” about climate change and its impacts on health and welfare that are “vehemently controverted among scientists and technicians of numerous stripes.” <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s44" style=" text-decoration: none;">[44]</a>

<div style="text-align: left;">The Chamber also submitted a supporting document, <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20160227040306/http://www.motherjones.com/files/USCOC%20comments%20to%20EPA%20June%202009%20attachment.pdf" target="_blank" style=" text-decoration: none;">“Detailed Review of EPA’s Health and Welfare Scientific Evidence” (PDF)</a>that included a number of additional statements: <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s45" style=" text-decoration: none;">[45]</a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">“Humans have become less susceptible to the effects of heat due to a combination of adaptations, particularly air conditioning. The availability of air conditioning is expected to continue to increase.”</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">“Reduced exposure to cold days is a significant factor in the increased life expectancy experienced in the U.S. over the past 30 years. This benefit from reduced exposure to cold can be further attributed to people migrating to warmer climates.”</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">“Overall, there is strong evidence that populations can acclimatize to warmer climates via a range of behavioral, physiological, and technological adaptations.”</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">“[T]he scientific evidence is clear that cold is a more potent hazard than heat.”</div>

</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">The U.S. Chamber of Commerce launched a website titled <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20070809065732/http://www.myenergypolicy.com/myep/default.asp" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">myenergypolicy.com </a>designed to “<a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20160227052825/http://www.energyxxi.org/chamber-launches-web-site-energy-and-environment%20%20See%20more%20at:%20http://web.archive.org/web/20160227052825/http://www.energyxxi.org/chamber-launches-web-site-energy-and-environment" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">help educate businesses and the general public about ways to help protect the environment</a>.”</div><blockquote style=" margin: 1.5em 30px;">

<div style="text-align: left;">“Economic growth and environmental progress are not incompatible pursuits,” said William Kovacs, Chamber vice president of environmental policy. “A strong economy gives us the resources to protect our environment.” <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s46" style=" text-decoration: none;">[46]</a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">November, 2007</div><div style="text-align: left;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">The US Chamber of Commerce released a video titled <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090204155305/http://www.uschamber.com/press/ads/advocate_climatechange" target="_blank" style="text-decoration-line: none;">“Wake Up to Climate Change Legislation!”</a> that called for US voters to tell their Senator to “vote NO on the Lieberman-Warner Climate Bill.” <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s47" style="text-decoration-line: none;">[47]</a></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The description reads as follows:</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">“If this bill becomes law, 3.4 million Americans will lose their jobs. American GDP will decline by $1 trillion. And American consumers will be forced to pay as much as $6 trillion to cope with carbon constraints.*</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">The only way to address the climate change challenge is through technology and energy efficiency. This bill avoids both.”</div>

</blockquote>

See video below:

Transcript: “Climate legislation being considered by congress could make it too expensive to heat our homes, power our lives, and drive our cars. Is this really how Americans want to live? Washington politicians should not demand what technology cannot deliver. Urge your senator to vote 'No' on the Lieberman-Warner Climate Bill.”

<div style="text-align: left;">March, 2008</div><div style="text-align: left;">
</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">PR Daily reports that general James L. Jones, former Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces in Europe, joined the U.S.Chamber of Commerce as a lobbyist to head the new Institute for Energy. <a href="http://www.desmogblog.com/us-chamber-commerce#s48" style="text-decoration-line: none;">[48]</a></div>

“Jones will head the Institute for Energy, which is to present itself as a grassroots organization. The Chamber went a similar path with the creation of the Institute for Legal Reform.”

</blockquote>

The Institute would focus on global warming and seek “to 'unify energy stakeholders behind a common strategy' to produce affordable and secure supplies while protecting the environment.”

</div>

Karen Alderman Harbert is president and chief executive officer of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for 21st Century Energy (Institute). Harbert leads the Institute’s efforts to build support for meaningful energy action nationally and internationally through policy development, education, and advocacy.

Under Harbert’s leadership, the Energy Institute has evolved into a premier national and international organization dedicated to advancing a constructive energy agenda with the business community, policymakers, and consumers. Harbert frequently testifies in front of Congress and provides analysis to the media, policymakers, and industry leaders.

Harbert led the Energy Institute’s development of its comprehensive Energy Works for US platform, which provides policy recommendations to secure our nation’s energy future and create millions of jobs, billions of dollars in revenue, and trillions of dollars of private investment. The Institute has attracted grassroots advocates across the nation supporting its efforts to capitalize on America’s tremendous energy promise. Under Harbert’s leadership, it established the groundbreaking Index of Energy Security Risk and the International Index of Energy Security Risk, the first tools to quantify America’s energy security on an annual basis.

<div style="text-align: left;">Harbert is the former assistant secretary for policy and international affairs at the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). She was the primary policy adviser to the secretary of </div><div style="text-align: left;">energy and to the department on domestic and international energy issues. She negotiated and managed bilateral and multilateral agreements with other countries and also served as vice chairman of the International Energy Agency, which advises its 28 member nations on energy policy issues and orchestrates international responses to energy supply disruptions. </div>

Prior to joining the DOE, Harbert was deputy assistant administrator for Latin America and the Caribbean at the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). She had oversight of programs in 11 countries, totaling more than $800 million and 1,000 employees. In the private sector, Harbert worked for a developer of international infrastructure and power projects valued at more than $9 billion in countries in the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America.

<div style="text-align: left;">Harbert gained experience on issues associated with economic reform and privatization through earlier positions at the USAID, the Organization of American States, and the </div><div style="text-align: left;">International Republican Institute. She received a degree in international policy studies and political science from Rice University in Houston, Texas. </div>

Harbert resides in Washington, D.C., with her husband and two children.

<div style="text-align: left;">Macmillan, May 25, 2010 - Political Science - 249 pages</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">1 Review</div>

</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">As president of Shell Oil, John Hofmeister was known for being a straight shooter, willing to challenge his peers throughout the industry. Now, he's a man on a mission, the founder of Citizens for Affordable Energy, crisscrossing the country in a grassroots campaign to change the way we look at energy in this country. While pundits proffer false new promises of green energy independence, or flatly deny the existence of a problem, Hofmeister offers an insider's view of what's behind the energy companies' posturing, and how politicians use energy misinformation, disinformation, and lack of information to get and stay elected. He tackles the energy controversy head-on, without regard for political correctness. He also provides a new framework for solving difficult problems, identifying solutions that will lead to a future of comfortable lifestyles, affordable and clean energy, environmental protection, and sustained economic competitiveness.</div>

Stephen D. Eule

Vice President, Institute for 21st Century Energy

U.S. Chamber of Commerce</div><div style="text-align: left;">
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Stephen D. Eule is vice president at the U.S. Chamber of Commerce’s Institute for 21st Century

Energy (Energy Institute). Mr. Eule is an experienced voice on the nexus between energy,

climate change, and technology. He travels around the world to speak with business,

governments, think tanks, and the media in a variety of forums.

Mr. Eule oversees the collection and analysis of data on energy and climate and the impact of

technology in the energy industry. He represents the U.S. Chamber in the UN Framework

Convention on Climate Change and helped found the Major Economies Business Forum on

Energy Security and Climate Change, a coalition of national cross-sector business organizations

from major economies for which the Energy Institute acts as secretariat.</div><div style="text-align: left;">
</div><div style="text-align: left;"> Mr. Eule also is

responsible for the Energy Institute’s two annual and authoritative energy security reports—the

Index of U.S. Energy Security Risk and the International Index of Energy Security Risk. These risks

indices represent the first and most comprehensive efforts to quantify energy security risks

over time and across a wide range of measures. They have been cited by the International

Energy Agency and are used by universities and think tanks across the world.

Previously, Mr. Eule was director of the Office of Climate Change Policy & Technology at the

Department of Energy (DOE). There he oversaw the development of the U.S. Climate Change

Technology Program Strategic Plan in 2006, ran President Bush’s Climate VISION program, and

testified before Congress on DOE climate and energy programs. Internationally, Mr. Eule

represented DOE as part of the U.S. government delegations to the Intergovernmental Panel on

Climate Change, the G20, and other multilateral forums. He was lead chapter author on the U.S.

Climate Action Report—2006 and contributed to other government publications.

His prior experience includes a decade working in various public policy positions. He was a

subcommittee staff director on the House Science Committee and served as legislative director

for Rep. Nick Smith (R-MI). In addition, Mr. Eule was an environmental analyst in the

Washington, D.C., office of New Jersey Gov. Christine Todd Whitman (R-NJ). Earlier, he worked

for eight years as an Orkand Corporation consultant to the Energy Information Administration

and worked at the Heritage Foundation.

Mr. Eule earned a Master of Arts degree in geography from The George Washington University

and a Bachelor of Science degree in biology from Southern Connecticut State College</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">
