The Energy Guys Are Back for 2010 (Some Restrictions Apply)

 

The Propane Education & Research Council has reached an agreement with Dan Warner (Propane) and John Hemphill (Electricity) to use selected images of the Energy Guys in 2010 in connection with safety, training, and research and development initiatives.

 

The usage rights for 2010 cover three existing images of Propane and one of both Propane and Electricity. Only the allowable images are available for downloading from the Propane Marketing and Resource Catalog (the Propane MaRC). The images may be used only in safety, training, and research and development activities.

 

The allowable Energy Guys images for 2010 may not be used in generic consumer advertisements. That’s because in August 2009 a Commerce Department analysis of propane prices triggered a restriction of PERC activities under the Propane Education and Research Act of 1996. Programs designed to educate consumers about the general benefits of propane are off-limits.

 

The rights associated with other Energy Guys materials, including TV, print, and radio advertisements, are set to expire December 31, 2009. Those materials may not be used for any purpose after the end of the year.
