鶹ýӳRight now, our nation is leading the world in oil and natural gas production and in reducing carbon emissions, which are near 20 year lows,鶹ýӳ said Gerard. 鶹ýӳThe American voter supports increased oil and natural gas production that could spur job creation, lower energy costs, and grow our nation鶹ýӳs economy and moving forward our nation鶹ýӳs energy policies should reflect the will of the American voter.鶹ýӳ

A recent poll found that 77% of voters, including 94% (R), 73%(I), and 64% (D), strongly support increased production of oil and natural gas resources located in the US and 69% of voters, including 86% (R), 69% (I), and 57% (D), are more likely to support candidates who want to produce more of our domestic oil and natural gas resources. The same poll found that 71% of voters, including 83% (R), 67% (I), and 60% (D), oppose legislation that could potentially raise energy costs on the American consumer.
