Oil & Gas: Why We Can’t Keep it in the Ground »

2023 Spring Conference, May 12, 2023 10:15 am

With many concerned about the "climate crisis," agencies are exploring ways to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote a "clean energy" future. By refusing to lease federal land for oil and gas exploration, terminating pipeline projects and heavily subsidizing wind and solar energy facilities, the federal government is attempting to do its part. However, these efforts have contributed to higher energy costs and inflation. Session attendees will learn that the stakes are high if we attempt to leave oil and gas in the ground.
