World dzԹ,
API President and CEO Jack Gerard delivered the keynote address at APIdzԹs 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 AmericadzԹs economic and political news this year.
dzԹThe US begins this new year leading the world in energy production, economic growth, and lowering our greenhouse gas emissions dzԹ a trifecta unmatched by any other country today. The gains wedzԹve made and our ability to sustain them in the years to come are largely dependent on the energy policies we pursue.
dzԹFortunately, we know how to bring about AmericadzԹs brighter energy future, which means lower costs for American consumers, a cleaner environment and American energy leadership, because it is todaydzԹs reality. We call it the US model.
dzԹAs the PresidentdzԹs last full year in office begins, we hope that he will take note of and help foster the US model. We hope that hedzԹll see that over regulation dzԹ nearly 100 regulations and counting on the oil and natural gas industry dzԹ hinders rather than advances what he hopes to be one of his administrationdzԹs defining legacies, environmental improvement.
dzԹWhile the outcome of NovemberdzԹs 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.
dzԹOur 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.dzԹ
