As we have waited too long to, as we have waited too long to deal with this climate crisis, we cant wait any longer when we reset the oil and gas program, we are not going to ban tracking, we will protect jobs and grow jobs. Jillian President Biden, promising jobs, are american energy workers created through his sweeping climate change agenda, Todd more on what workers cant do. Rather than opening up new opportunities. The ceo of the american exploration and production exploration and production counsel joins us, live with the future of the energy industry. Thanks for being here, we will get into jobs. In a moment we were talking about jobs with regard to the energy industry, I want to focus on the macro view to the american people, appreciate the impact on how much it will cost to drive their car, how much more it will cost to heat their home based on what Biden is proposing to do. That is a great question and

good morning, thanks for having me this morning. The american energy industry is the industry that brought this country, not just energy security, but economic security, and because of this industry cost to american families or their energy consumption has stayed historically low and cost for every other household is increased over the last decade. Exponentially anytime, you restrict production, doing nothing to demands. It is a formula for increasing cost and doing so in the middle of a pandemic is hugely concerning not just to us, but should be to every american family. Jillian, a Texas Democrat representative led a group of republican lawmakers requesting Joe Biden, the President Biden, rescind this executive order banning energy leasing on federal lands. There were a series of tweets. We are deeply concerned about the implications of this executive order in a

short term, given the impact of Covid 19 on local economies, including lost jobs, increase including lost jobs, increase budget shortfalls and weakening of the US national Security that pertains to energy independence. He goes on to say Texas, particularly in the fifteenth district has been ravaged by the coronavirus, and this recent executive order will hurt an already suffering community. What does it say to you that you have people on both sides of the aisle, not as many Democrats as Republicans, but still have Democrats from Texas saying this is not going to work for our workers for the people of Texas. Exactly right. Energy is a partisan issue. American oil and gas fuels every part of our everyday lives, and this should not be a partisan issue, and it is unfortunate. The Biden administration seems to view climate progress and energy production is mutually exclusive and the fact is we can have both Republicans and Democrats from Republicans and Democrats from

Texas and oil and gas producing states know that better than anyone, the United States is oral leader in reducing emissions, so putting forth policies that move our production overseas. Make us more reliant on foreign forces and less regulated sources makes absolutely no sense. Now more than ever Todd everybody wants clean water. Everybody wants clean air. My family was hit by hurricane. I get it im, not saying it is not an issue but based on your research will any of these moves help the environment in a tangible way, Pacific. We we dont, get the international community like China, India to do their part exactly right. Climate is a global problem. Climate is a global problem. Emissions are global issue. Energy is a global commodity and focusing and analyzing the US oil and gas industry will actually have the exact opposite

effect that the Biden administration claimed it will have. It will move production overseas to where it is less highly regulated. At the point of production, India, China still overwhelmingly reliance on coal for their energy sources and that is growing, not diminishing the United States because of the.
