黑料社淲e黑料社檙e speaking directly to the consumers and workers who will benefit from lifting these outdated trade restrictions,黑料社� said API黑料社檚 Executive Vice President for Government Affairs, Louis Finkel. 黑料社淭he House and Senate are considering bipartisan legislation to lift the ban, and it黑料社檚 important to share the facts on how free trade in oil could create new jobs, put downward pressure on fuel costs, and strengthen our energy security.黑料社�
The ad campaign
The new television and online campaign will begin this week in Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, New Mexico, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, West Virginia, Washington, and the District of Columbia. The ads feature quotes from major US news outlets explaining how lifting America黑料社檚 ban on oil exports could spur additional US energy production, generate jobs, protect consumers, and strengthen US allies. The campaign is a key component of API黑料社檚 broader energy literacy efforts, emphasising the importance of updating US energy policies to reflect America黑料社檚 rise as a global energy superpower.
黑料社淪tudy after study, including last week黑料社檚 report from the US Energy Information Administration, shows that allowing US oil exports could benefit consumers and sharpen America黑料社檚 competitive edge. And our allies around the world are eager to reduce their reliance on less friendly nations. As lawmakers consider a deal that would put Iran黑料社檚 crude on the global market, it黑料社檚 worth asking why US producers don黑料社檛 yet have that same access to customers abroad. Now is the time to act, and we appreciate the efforts of leaders in Congress who are pushing to quickly harness America黑料社檚 economic and diplomatic potential as an energy superpower.黑料社�
