Congressional Unveiling of Major Energy Savings and Carbon Reduction...
Do you want to save 4.48-7.95 million metric tons (MMT) of carbon annually (equivalent to removing approximately between 3-5.4 million automobiles annually)? Do you want to save 25 to 42 Terawatt hours (billion kWh) per year (equivalent to 3 to 6 nuclear power plants or 6 to 10 coal-fired plants)? Do...

Dishwasher Safe Typing
NEMA standards make appearances in a number of places — lighting, medical imaging equipment, motors, and many other product categories. I recently heard about a surprising use of a NEMA standard — a dishwasher safe, waterproof computer keyboard. The company says the products are manufactured...

Daytime Lamps Not Required
In this morning's Federal Register you may not have noticed an item having to do with automobile safety. After eight years, the U.S. Department of Transportation has issued a denial of a petition by General Motors to require all cars in the U.S. under 5 tons to have daytime running lamps. DOT, through...

The Lesson of Unintended Consequences
Those of you interested in economic policy who are not familiar with Henry Hazlitt's fable of the broken window , now is the time to learn it. I was reminded of it, and the late, great Hazlitt's wonderful book "Economics in One Lesson," after reading a recent Economist editorial, "Piling...

Why a Memorial Day?
Memorial Day did not start out as a celebration day, a party day, a shopping day or even a time to thank those who have served or who are serving the Nation. It was meant as a time of remembrance and honor for those who had given the ultimate sacrifice in protecting us while in the service of this country...

Home Energy Use - Energy Star Retreating Now?
Now that we have entered May, the thermometers are starting to trend upward. In some regions of the country the cooling season has already started while in more northerly climes the heating season is drawing to a close. At the same time, on Capitol Hill the debate is raging on what measures to take to...

The American Public and Capitalism
American business may be in more trouble than it presently thinks. I'm not talking about the economic collapse, which has manufacturers and other businesses on edge, wondering when we'll see a light at the end of the tunnel. And I'm not talking about the emergence of an activist Congress...

Misinformation at a California Conference
This week I flew to the West Coast to make a presentation on behalf of several NEMA sections at a solid waste management industry conference.

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).

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...
