There’s no doubt about it: energy costs are increasing in this country. A few days ago, we released a study saying that more than half of U.S. households now devote more than 20 percent of their family budget toward energy costs.
Without affordable energy, small businesses are struggling to make ends meet, which hampers our economic recovery. Rather than growing and creating jobs, some businesses are downsizing and cutting jobs.

The American Coalition for Clean Coal Electricity (ACCCE) is committed to the idea that America can have the affordable, reliable electricity we need, with the clean environment we want. ACCCE’s Behind the Plug blog is the place for up-to-date news and analysis on clean coal technology developments and energy policy progress.
