House Discusses Gas Prices, Domestic Oil

摘要

An April hearing of the U.S. House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology examined technology and policy pathways to develop more domestic unconventional oil resources, such as oil shale and sand. Witnesses were asked to comment on such topics as the economic impacts of high energy prices, the factors that shape oil and gasoline markets, and the regulatory hurdles that affect production. Prices are estimated to remain close to $4 per gallon throughout the summer.
