About Us
Committed to Energy Security
The North Carolina Energy Forum is a growing community of concerned citizens committed to two goals – achieving energy security for our country and holding our elected officials more accountable in shaping energy policies.
We have come together to better educate ourselves about energy issues and to support a balanced approach to increasing American supplies of energy.
We support expanded conservation efforts, development of renewable energy sources and increased domestic exploration of traditional, non-renewable energy sources.
If you believe strongly that we must address the growing challenge of energy security through a non-partisan comprehensive, balanced approach, then the North Carolina Energy Forum is your community.
