The Energy Institute (EI), according to its website, is "the leading professional body for the energy industries, representing almost 12,000 professionals both nationally and internationally".

The speaker at EI's 2005 annual dinner was the CEO of ExxonMobil, Lee Raymond. His arrival at the event was delayed by a Greenpeace protest. According to the Financial Times:

Host Sir John Collins, chairman of the Energy Institute, then warned that the delicate Raymond would leave the building immediately if any diner moved from their seat or coughed too loudly. This stern threat wasn't enough to deter two middle-aged Greenpeace activists, who had infiltrated the enemy ranks by donning dinner jacket and black tie.(The Financial Times, February 18, 2005)

ExxonMobil is a staunch opponent of the Kyoto Protocol.

Views on Nuclear Energy

In a Letter to the Editor of The Independent, Martin Fry, the Vice President of EI preempts opposition to new investment in nuclear energy by calling for a "balanced" debate that avoids "the 'nuclear or renewables' boxing match" and declares that a "[p]art of the answer to security of supply is to harness a diversity of energy resources". (The Independent, November 30, 2005)
