The American Petroleum Institute held its annual “State of American Energy” (SOAE) on Thursday, where the organization’s President and CEO Mike Sommers made it clear that the U.S. oil and natural gas sector is crucial to powering the economy, supporting local communities, boosting national security, addressing environmental challenges, and supporting the fight against COVID-19.
As Sommers said:
“We’ve become conditioned to pit using energy against making environmental progress, yet history has shown that this is a false choice. Both developing energy and reducing emissions are essential to advance our society and protect the environment. Without energy and environmental progress, we risk national security, quality of life, and the American experiment.”
