| Abstract: | This analysis determines the impact of campaign contributions on Senators' legislative activity on the Energy Policy Act of 2003, identifies organizations within the power policy-planning network, and examines the social netwrok of the energy industry and its relationship with the power policy-planning network. After describing the research methods used for this analysis and identifying the organizations that make up the power policy-planning network, OLS regression is used to isolate the explanatory power of campaign contributions and political party on Senators' amendment proposals and voting patterns, then the social network of the energy industry and its relationship with the power policy-planning network is explored. |
