State of American Energy
January 24, 2011
As promised, here is more information from today’s State of American Energy event held in Washington. First, written materials, videos and the State of American Energy report are available here at EnergyTomorrow.org. Also, the speech delivered by Jack Gerard, API’s President and CEO, to a standing-room only crowd can be found here.
As part of the event, API also released a new study by Wood Mackenzie that assesses the economic impacts of producing more domestic oil and natural gas vs. raising energy taxes. By a wide margin, more jobs are created and more government revenue is generated by allowing the oil and natural gas industry to produce more U.S. energy.
Please contact me if you have any questions.

API Talks about Higher Energy Prices
January 24, 2011
Editor’s note: Does anyone wonder why energy prices are going up? If they were factored into the infation number…
APR – I’m sending you some new materials about the various EPA proposals that have been making headlines recently.
First, here is a video that provides an overview of three of EPA’s proposals, including the ozone standard, the E15 fuel blend, and the greenhouse gas regulations.
Second, we have an updated briefing paper that outlines our concerns with these proposals. For example, under the EPA’s proposed ozone standards, even Yellowstone National Park would be out of attainment.
And finally, check out the OMB Watch graph in my blog post about last month’s EPA-themed blogger conference call. It shows that, in the first 18 months of the second Bush administration, the EPA proposed 16 significant regulations with an annual economic impact of $100 million or more. In the first 18 months of the current administration, EPA has proposed 42 significant regulations.
