World 鶹ýӳ,
API President and CEO Jack Gerard delivered the keynote address at API鶹ýӳs Sixth Annual State of American Energy event on 5 January, releasing the State of American Energy 2016 report and highlighting the energy issues that will shape America鶹ýӳs economic and political news this year.
鶹ýӳThe US begins this new year leading the world in energy production, economic growth, and lowering our greenhouse gas emissions 鶹ýӳ a trifecta unmatched by any other country today. The gains we鶹ýӳve made and our ability to sustain them in the years to come are largely dependent on the energy policies we pursue.
鶹ýӳFortunately, we know how to bring about America鶹ýӳs brighter energy future, which means lower costs for American consumers, a cleaner environment and American energy leadership, because it is today鶹ýӳs reality. We call it the US model.
鶹ýӳAs the President鶹ýӳs last full year in office begins, we hope that he will take note of and help foster the US model. We hope that he鶹ýӳll see that over regulation 鶹ýӳ nearly 100 regulations and counting on the oil and natural gas industry 鶹ýӳ hinders rather than advances what he hopes to be one of his administration鶹ýӳs defining legacies, environmental improvement.
鶹ýӳWhile the outcome of November鶹ýӳs elections is far from clear, it is certain that no matter who becomes the 45th President of the United States, he or she will lead a nation that is first in oil and natural gas production, first in refining ever-cleaner fuel and first in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
鶹ýӳOur goal is to keep the positive momentum of the last few years and to end the politicisation of energy for petty partisan ends. We want to continue the national energy policy discussion and stay above the partisan fray, and immune from the misinformation campaign deployed by fervid critics of fossil fuels.鶹ýӳ
