摘要

An “energy policy with affordability at its core” whichrecognizes the value of domestic fossil fuels, has the potentialto deliver long-term economic growth, Chevron Corp. CEOJohn Watson said last week at the Peterson Institute for Inter-national Economics in Washington, DC.By recognizing the value of domestic fossil fuels, theUnited States can achieve “long-term economic, energy andenvironmental security,” he said. The CEO’s comments partlywere directed at Congress, where a deficit-reductionsupercommittee is debating ways to lower the federal deficit,which may include taking away tax incentives now enjoyedby the energy industry, and expanding access to public landsand water.
