Oil, Gas Industry Burnishes Its Arguments For Year of Energy Legislation, Regulation

摘要

The American Petroleum Institute set the stage for a year of congressional and administration activity on energy issues by urging action to lift the ban on U.S. crude oil exports, approval of the Keystone XL 'oil import pipeline, permits for liquefied natural! gas exports and reform of the renewable fuel standard. Jack Gerard, president and chief executive officer of the trade group, rolled out the wish list at an annual meeting where he also noted a couple of leading examples of what his industry doesn't wish:, methane emission regulations for oil and gas production and the Environmental Protection Agency's proposed tightening of limits for emissions that contribute to ozone pollution.
