World 鶹ýӳ,
Ahead of the State of the Union, API President and CEO Jack Gerard called on the president to put consumers first and not disrupt America鶹ýӳs energy renaissance with unnecessary, duplicative and costly regulations.
鶹ýӳThe energy revolution has created a proven model to improve the environment while creating jobs and strengthening our national security and lowering consumer costs. We call it the US model, and it can be achieved without over-regulating.
鶹ýӳOver the past year, the oil and gas industry has had to address nearly 100 regulations impacting all aspects of our business. The administration needs to take a close look at them and ask two questions: 鶹ýӳAre they necessary?鶹ýӳ and, 鶹ýӳWhat will the cost be to consumers?鶹ýӳ
鶹ýӳInstead of pursuing a barrage of job-crushing new regulations 鶹ýӳ many of which are duplicative and unnecessary 鶹ýӳ President Obama has the opportunity to seize the initiative and embrace policies that recognize the value of the energy resurgence and acknowledge that the goals of environmental progress and energy production are not mutually exclusive.
鶹ýӳBy looking to science and real-world proven results to guide the policy choices during his final year in office, the president can ensure that America鶹ýӳs energy resurgence continues to provide economic growth, environmental progress and security benefits.鶹ýӳ
