Title: America Needs a New Energy Policy
Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Louis Finkel
with American Petroleum Institute www.API.org
Part 1 of 2
Did Obama’s administration
encourage oil and gas exploration in America? Or are lower gas prices in spite
of Obama and his minions? Millions of Americans are enjoying the lower gas
prices, but at what cost?
Louis Finkel is the Executive Vice President for Government Affairs with the
American Petroleum Institute. He is responsible for integrating API’s advocacy
resources – federal affairs, state affairs, mobilization, and communications. He
explains that for every penny gasoline goes down, it puts another BILLION
dollars into the pockets of American consumers. This is all well and good, but
thousands of oil and gas employees are waiting on pins and needles to see if
they have a job when they go to work tomorrow. Those who are responsible for
drilling the wells are worried they’re going to lose it all, just like the oil
crash in the 80’s.
Louis believes that what America needs right now more than anything is better
policies. In Texas alone, up to 62,000 new jobs could be created if Obama would
just pass good policies! Listen in as he explains his point of view and why it
is so important for the administration to begin drilling on federal land, not
just the private sector.

Title: Part 2 of 2 - America Needs a New Energy Policy
Topic: Oil & Gas
Discussed by Louis Finkel

America is now the leading oil
and gas producer in the world, but it really has nothing to do with Obama. His
policies are putting a stop to new drilling at every turn, resulting in a
massive decrease in oil and gas production on federal land, while
privately-owned land production is thriving.
America’s job, economic, and military security all center around the energy
industry. It is time Obama and his cronies realize this and start making up for
lost time by opening the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic. Louis Finkel explains why
Obama is stalling, which is really quite shocking when you think about it.
Louis also believes that when America is allowed to export oil to other
countries in the world, our status in the global market will sky rocket. We are
not depending on others as much anymore; we have our own. Let’s get drilling,
Mr. President! Click [here] for more on the oil and gas industry.
