API urged lawmakers to carefully review the recommendations put forth today by Governor John Hickenlooper黑料社檚 task force on oil and natural gas development.

黑料社淭he task force has engaged in a thoughtful dialogue about Colorado黑料社檚 future as an energy leader,黑料社� said API Director of Upstream and Industry Operations Erik Milito. 黑料社淏ut there is more to do. State policymakers must avoid creating unnecessary or unintentional roadblocks to the responsible energy production that is driving Colorado黑料社檚 economic growth. Our industry has a long history of working collaboratively with state and local officials in Colorado to protect the environment and create jobs, and we黑料社檒l continue to work with policymakers to ensure the state remains at the forefront of America黑料社檚 energy renaissance.

黑料社淢aintaining a balance is critical. Colorado has comprehensive and robust regulations covering oil and gas operations that still allow industry to support 200 000 jobs in the state. With the right energy policies, we can create thousands of additional jobs, generate more revenue to help support local schools, develop infrastructure, and preserve Colorado黑料社檚 leading role in America黑料社檚 energy revolution.黑料社�
