American Petroleum Institute letter to Biden
American Petroleum Institute letter to Biden ^ | June 14th, 2022

Posted on 06/15/2022 1:20:36 PM PDT by Mount Athos

The following 10 in 2022 Plan consists of ten immediate steps we recommend your administration and/orCongress take to help address our current energy challenges by increasing supply:

1. Lift Development Restrictions on Federal Lands and Waters

The Department of the Interior (DOI) should swiftly issue a 5-year program for the Outer Continental Shelf and hold mandated quarterly onshore lease sales with equitable terms. DOI should reinstate canceled sales and valid leases on federal lands and waters.

2. Designate Critical Energy Infrastructure Projects

Congress should authorize critical energy infrastructure projects to support the production, processing, and delivery of energy. These projects would be of such concern to the national interest that they would be entitled to undergo a streamlined review and permitting process not to exceed one year.

3. Fix the NEPA Permitting Process

Your administration should revise the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process by establishing agency uniformity in reviews, limiting reviews to two years, and reducing bureaucratic burdens placed on project proponents in terms of size and scope of application submissions.

4. Accelerate LNG Exports and Approve Pending LNG Applications

Congress should amend the Natural Gas Act to streamline the Department of Energy (DOE) to a single approval process for all U.S. liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects. DOE should approve pending LNG applications to enable the U.S. to deliver reliable energy to our allies abroad.

5. Unlock Investment and Access to Capital

The Securities and Exchange Commission should reconsider its overly burdensome and ineffective climate disclosure proposal and your administration should ensure open capital markets where access is based upon individual company merit free from artificial constraints based on government-preferred investment allocations.

6. Dismantle Supply Chain Bottlenecks

You should rescind steel tariffs that remain on imports from U.S. allies as steel is a critical component of energy production, transportation, and refining. Your administration should accelerate efforts to relieve port congestion so that equipment necessary for energy development can be delivered andinstalled.

7. Advance Lower Carbon Energy Tax Provisions

Congress should expand and extend Section 45Q tax credits for carbon capture, utilization, and storage development and create a new tax credit for hydrogen produced from all sources.

8. Protect Competition in the Use of Refining Technologies

Your administration should ensure that future federal agency rulemakings continue to allow U.S. refineries to use the existing critical process technologies to produce the fuels needed for global energy markets.

9. End Permitting Obstruction on Natural Gas Projects

The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission should cease efforts to overstep its permitting authority under the Natural Gas Act and should adhere to traditional considerations of public needs as well as focus on direct impacts arising from the construction and operation of natural gas projects.

10. Advance the Energy Workforce of the Future

Congress and your administration should support the training and education of a diverse work force through increased funding of work-based learning and advancement of STEM programs to nurture the skills necessary to construct and operate oil, natural gas, and other energy infrastructure.

I guess Biden won't do any of this.

From day 1 they have done what they can to cripple US energy production. Then they say they can't do anything, it's nothing to do with their policies.

The Biden Administration is doing their best to wreck the USA.

The report is much too intelligent to be understood by Biden and his gang.

You are correct in that Biden wont do this. These should be on Trumps top 20 to do in his first 30 days in office in 2024.

Also shame on the API for having an American flag, and not the pride flag on their website in the month of June. How dare they.

He will nationalize petroleum before he would do any of this. Not that I am giving him ideas.

API responds to Biden admin threats to nationalize with a menu that would blow up all environmental restrictions on energy production.

Bravo.

I hope all universally refuse to even meet with the White Hut and generally ignore them.

AT least they are ON RECORD with proposals.

When everything Biden wants totally fails-—they can point to their solutions that he is ignoring.

Way too soft....
Hell here’s an edit to #5
BlackRock Inc., Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase and Co., Morgan Stanley, U.S. Bancorp, and Wells Fargo Company have imposed a war on financing any so called “fossil fuel” investment projects brought on by any oil company.
Janet Yellen, the OCC, SEC, FDIC, need to direct them to back off ! There fixed it.

I don’t like that they want to lift terrify on foreign steal and other commodities. We need American made steal, it’s a matter of national security. I also don’t like their focus on supplying energy to other nations. They need to fully supply America first, then they can sell any excess.

“Venezuela by 2024?????”

No, I don’t thinks so. With a much larger population and a much larger percentage of that population that has no idea or clue on how to be self sustaining, it will be worse. Much worse.

He already did the opposite on most of this.
