Internship: Winning the Oil Endgame Implementation |
In September 2004, Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) published Winning the Oil Endgame: Innovation for Profits, Jobs, and Security, a Pentagon co-funded blueprint for making the United States oil-free (www.oilendgame.com). The plan outlines how American industry can restore competitiveness and boost profits by mobilizing modern technologies and smart business strategies to displace oil more cheaply than buying it. Implementation of this study is well underway in the areas of heavy trucks, military, light vehicles, and biofuels. It requires a combination of business and military-led initiatives in producing more efficient vehicles and creating cost-competitive biofuels, combined with targeted policies to provide incentives for both producers and consumers. In 2007, RMI will continue to engage federal and state regulators, along with business leaders, to further implement the recommendations proposed in this study. Responsibilities: The intern's work experiences will include analyzing proposed policies, legislation, and rules; preparing comments and testimony for decision-makers; working with a coalition of business leaders, NGOs, and state regulators; and working with senior staff at RMI.

Compensation: The Intern will receive a monthly stipend of $1100.00 and housing assistance. Duration: 3 months to 6 months to start in June.
