President Barack Obama speaks at the Joint Center for Energy Storage Research Argonne National Laboratory in Illinois about his energy policies and new opportunities for engineers in the industry.
Another ACC finding projects the job bounty that could result as the natural gas industry expands. Hundreds of thousands of direct and indirect jobs may be created in the following indus- tries: chemicals, 619,000; plastics/rubber products, 346,000; fabricated metal, 74,000; iron/steel, 59,000; paper, 46,000; glass, 9,000; and foundries, 9,000.
The U.S. Energy Information Administration’s Annual Energy Outlook 2013 spotlights factors that may affect U.S. energy markets through 2040.
The Manufacturing Alliance for Productivity and Innovation (MAPI) sees the nation’s economic activity glass half-full in 2013 and slightly more so next year. All economic activity relies upon energy in some way.
“MAPI forecasts that manufacturing production will increase 2.2 percent in 2013 and 3.6 percent in 2014. High-tech production is forecast to increase 4.3 percent in 2013 and 9.0 percent in 2014. Non-high-tech or traditional manufacturing, which accounts for 90 percent of value added in manufactur- ing, will grow 1.8 percent in 2013 and 3.8 percent in 2014. Manufacturing will grow at a faster speed than the general economy, but not by much. The key growth themes are a housing rebound, strong growth in transportation equipment and the expansion of medical care (robust medical equipment demand). MAPI forecasts that manufacturing production will increase 2.2 percent in 2013 and 3.6 percent in 2014.”
