Campaign urges Congress to act on energy security
The Energy Security Leadership Council (ESLC), a project of Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE), today launched an educational campaign designed to urge members of Congress to combat the threats posed by America’s dangerous and ongoing dependence on petroleum.
