Following the release of the Obama administration’s 2050 energy strategy, the American Petroleum Institute called for President Barack Obama to embrace the country’s role as a leader in natural gas production and carbon emissions reductions.
 
”The United States is leading the world in the production of oil and natural gas and leading the world in reducing carbon emissions which are near 20 year lows,” API Senior Director for Regulatory and Scientific Affairs Howard Feldman said. “The administration should embrace our nation’s energy renaissance that has lowered costs for consumers, benefitted American workers and improved the environment.”
