We are proud of the work we are doing to produce a clean-burning energy source that is improving the environment, strengthening American energy security and creating jobs.
Responsible shale development is driving the American economy, while reducing emissions. In fact, the Wall Street Journal has reported that according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, thanks to increased use of natural gas, carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the United States are at a 20-year low. The International Energy Agency also recently reported that even as global CO2 emissions rose, those from the United States dropped by 3.8 percent.
If improving our environment and creating tens of thousands of good-paying jobs while dramatically bolstering American energy security is a crime, we’re guilty as charged.
