Murkowski: Don’t Squander A Golden Opportunity

摘要

America has a golden opportunity with its surging oil production that should not be squandered, Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) said in her keynote address at the 33rd annual IHS CERAWeek in Houston. The U.S. needs to reorient its energy policies for a new century, including allowing export of condensate and crude oil, she said. She offered a road map to allow this and said she is prepared to introduce legislation if the president doesn’t act. The senator has already taken several actions. Last year, she released a white paper, “Energy 20/20,” on the future of American energy policy that covered a wide array of policies and topics. She also released three related white papers on LNG, broader energy exports and electric reliability. She intends to release another one soon on the link between energy and water.
