As I look back on 2012, I am proud of the way our companies tackled O challenges and demonstrated the Power by Association that EEI represents. Our work together on Dodd-Frank fi nancial reform measures, for example, resulted in signifi cant improvements in fi nal rules issued by the Commodity Futures Trading Commis- sion—and a reduction of burdens on utilities. In 2013, industry coordination again will be critical as the implementation process begins and advocacy continues on key rules. Last year, industry executives worked with the Departments of Energy and Homeland Se- curity to help clarify the respective responsibilities of the private sector and government regarding cyber risks and activities. Congress and the President surely will focus on cyber security in 2013, and our industry will continue to advocate for policy changes that leverage private sec- tor input and focus government authority on responding to imminent threats. The Environmental Protection Agency will fi nalize key utility regula- tions (including its rule regarding cooling water intake structures) and likely propose new ones. For example, EPA’s anticipated proposal for new source performance standards under the Clean Air Act could serve to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from existing sources. As always, such environmental issues require the industry’s concerted response. As the magazine goes to press, I don’t know whether Congress and the President have avoided the fi scal cliff, nor do I know the fate of dividend tax rates. I do know, however, that our In 2012, our industry responded to industry has been united in making our case: low dividend tax rates that are in line with capital so many challenges with strength. gains tax rates matter. The Defend My Dividend But utilities do that naturally, don’t they? campaign has generated hundreds of thousands of messages to Congress, and the industry’s efforts have been dynamic—CEO and CFO fl y- ins to Washington, grassroots mobilization, media and social media outreach and more. As Congress turns to tax reform in 2013, we will need a similar level of engagement. What We Do In 2012, our industry responded to so many challenges with strength. But utilities do that naturally, don’t they? In October, when Superstorm Sandy unleashed her fury on North America, our industry’s mutual assistance network brought together local utility crews, out-of-state crews, and contractors to restore power. Utility employees from unaffected areas headed north and east; some loaded up trucks and supplies on military aircraft and fl ew across the country; and all brought heroic work and relief to hard-hit utilities and their customers. The numbers are staggering—about 10 million customers without power at the peak and more than 67,000 utility workers working around the clock to restore service. The coordination of workers on the ground; the unprecedented partnership among utilities, the Administration, and state and local emergency resources; and the dedication of executives with whom the EEI team spoke every day, at all hours, were mighty things to behold. Perhaps it is overly humble to say, “Well, that’s what we do,” but in fact, that is what we do. That is the power of the unity and purpose the industry will continue to bring to the issues of 2013. Thomas R. Kuhn President, Edison Electric Institute 6 ELECTRIC PERSPECTIVES THANK YOU To The Hard-Working Men And Women Of the Electric Utility Industry. The damage done by Superstorm Sandy was unprecedented in its size and scope. Approximately 10 million customers lost power across more than 20 states as a result of the epic storm and Nor’easter Athena that followed closely after.

Flashback to 2007: the iPhone is a technological miracle, the Black Eyed Peas are topping the charts, and a freshman Senator from Illinois is about to embark on a journey that will define the next century. My name is Carter and I’m thrilled to be your Chair as you all drive a campaign to take America by storm. A bit about myself: I’m a third year in the College at the University of Chicago, studying Political Science (and probably another major or a few minors, as long as I can keep a high GPA for law school)! I originally hail from Louisville, Kentucky (pronounced Loo-a-vul)--home of horse racing, fried chicken, and Muhammad Ali. Outside of coursework, I’m the Vice President of our competitive Model UN Team, and am a Crisis Director for a committee (The Virgin Group, 2020) at ChoMUN, our collegiate Model UN conference. This is my second year at MUNUC--last year I staffed the Cabinet of Uzbekistan, 1991. I also work at UChicago’s Community Programs Accelerator as a consultant for nonprofits on Chicago’s South Side, and spend my limited free time exploring this beautiful city and finding good food.
