The interagency Quadrennial Energy
Review Task Force, which includes
members from all relevant executive
departments and agencies, will develop
an integrated review of energy policy
that integrates all of these perspectives.
It will build on the foundation provided
in the Administration’s Blueprint for a
Secure Energy Future of March 30, 2011,
and Climate Action Plan released on
June 25, 2013. The Task Force will offer
recommendations on what additional
actions it believes would be appropriate.
These may include recommendations on
additional executive or legislative
actions to address the energy challenges
and opportunities facing the Nation.
