Who We Are

Americans for Balanced Energy Choices (ABEC) was formed in April 2000 to provide a voice to community leaders in the development of energy and environmental policies. To date, over 150,000 community leaders from all across the country have joined ABEC as a means of keeping informed on what is happening with energy and environmental policies at both the state and federal levels. Primary funding for ABEC’s outreach efforts come from America’s coal-based electricity providers.

As a group, we believe that America can continue to make great progress in improving environmental quality while at the same time enjoying the benefits of using domestic energy resources like coal to meet our growing demand for affordable, reliable and clean energy.

In a word … we believe in technology.

We encourage you to see how large a role coal plays in providing electricity in your state.

As America debates its energy future in Congress and our state legislatures,. There is no cost, and your only commitment is to stay informed. keep up with developments and receive regular updates
