What Hasn’t Changed in 82 Years
Cleaning out the files last Friday yielded an illuminating find--a 1927 copy of The National Electrical Manufacturers Association: A Brief Outline of its Function and Purpose (in the picture below, note the autographed instruction to return this to file). So what's changed since 1927, the year of...

Thank you, Senator Specter...Great News for "Card Check" Opponents
Today, Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) announced his intention to OPPOSE cloture and final passage of the misnamed "Employee Free Choice Act" (HR 1409/S 560), dealing a significant blow to the AFL-CIO and other proponents who had been counting on his vote to support the anti-democratic and anti...

Capitol Hill is "Card Check" Buzzing...
As I “pounded the pavement” the past couple of days promoting NEMA and its activities on Capitol Hill, I couldn’t help but marvel at the sheer amount of buzz about the misnamed “ Employee Free Choice Act ,” (EFCA; HR 1409/S 560) that specter which threatens to kill the use of secret ballot in union elections...

Kepler Telescope blast-off – Technology is the engine of growth
Over the weekend the Kepler telescope was launched into space to hunt for earth-like planets. So who was this space craft named for? The name Kepler is familiar to me because it is the name of my printer at work – being a slightly nerdy, technology-based trade association NEMA names it meeting rooms...

The Color of Money
Well, we now know that Ben Bernanke is a man of his word.

A Thriftier U.S. Consumer?
In less than a year's time, U.S. households have gone from spending practically everything they earn, and then some, to socking away larger amounts of their incomes.

Zoi is No "Hoi Polloi"
News is out that POTUS has tapped the person he wants to run the all-important (at least, to us) DOE Energy Efficiency & Renewable Energy office: It's Cathy Zoi, CEO of Al Gore's Alliance for Climate Protection and former chief of staff of the White House Office of Environmental Policy under...
