About Us

The Institute for Energy Research (IER) is a not-for-profit organization that conducts intensive research and analysis on the functions, operations, and government regulation of global energy markets. IER maintains that freely-functioning energy markets provide the most efficient and effective solutions to today's global energy and environmental challenges and, as such, are critical to the well-being of individuals and society.

DEAR CONCERNED ENERGY SUPPORTER,

In this time of financial uncertainty, could you ever imagine that the United States government would consider a proposal to reduce household income, raise energy prices and ship good paying American manufacturing jobs overseas?

Well, they have.

It is called the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act and it was already considered earlier this year in the United States Senate.

Both independent and federal government studies alike have concluded that the Lieberman-Warner bill – which will be considered again next year – would have severe impacts on jobs, household income, gasoline and home-heating prices, and cost taxpayers trillions of dollars. All of this for little, if any, environmental benefit.

I encourage you to learn more about the current issues surrounding the Global Warming debate and find out the true cost of climate legislation in your state by clicking on the interactive presentations below.

Thanks,

Tom Pyle
President, Institute for Energy Research
