Energy and the Economy

The limited window of opportunity for U.S. natural gas producers to help serve the needs of customers around the world is closing fast.

Further confirmation of the oil and natural gas industry’s contribution to American energy abundance can be found in the March 12 “This Week in Petroleum” from the U.S. Energy Information Administration.


This morning a Senate committee held a hearing to ask whether building the Keystone XL pipeline from the Canadian oil sands to Gulf Coast refineries in the United States is in the national interest.

Addressing the Building Trades legislative conference, ExxonMobil’s Rex Tillerson outlined “an extraordinary growth opportunity” for the American economy that is tied to domestic energy development.


Add Colorado to the list of states – including Texas, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania – that are experiencing firsthand the new domestic energy abundance brought on by tapping into America’s shale oil and natural gas regions.

Missouri Governor Jay Nixon announced that he favors construction of the Keystone XL pipeline to bring crude from the Canadian oil sands and our own Bakken shale region to refineries along the Gulf Coast.
