U.S. Consumers Voice Opposition to New Proposed Energy Rule

38,000 consumers push back against job killing proposal

HOUSTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#AmericanEnergy–Today, more than 38,000 U.S. consumers spoke out in support of robust
energy production. Consumer
Energy Alliance
(CEA) and its members have submitted letters to the
Bureau of Land Management (BLM) a day before the April 22nd deadline for
comments on the proposed Waste Prevention, Production Subject to
Royalties, and Resource Conservation rule, commonly called the “Venting
and Flaring” rule. The letters are focused on how efforts to explore and
produce America’s energy resources will be negatively affected by the
proposed rule, which would have significant unintended consequences on
local economies, small businesses, school districts, state budgets, and
more.

CEA has concerns that the rule would drive up costs in an already
difficult market for energy producers, causing a reduction in energy
production, and as a result, a drop in job creation, economic growth,
energy security, tax receipts, school funding, taxpayer royalties, etc.

“American consumers have once again shown their support for commonsense
energy policies and have demonstrated their deep concern with a proposal
that would drive up costs, duplicate existing rules, and provide little
benefit to taxpayers or the environment,” says David Holt, president of
CEA.

“CEA, our 270 corporate members and 400,000 individual advocates from
every sector of the U.S. economy strongly value the contributions that
domestic energy production has had for our nation’s consumers. CEA has
long advocated for expanded access to responsible energy production as a
means to grow our economy and lower energy prices. We urge the BLM to
listen to the more than 38,640 consumers and numerous companies and
organizations that have joined CEA in calling on the federal government
to withdraw the proposed rule.”

“Energy production is vital to our local, state and national economy and
key to our national energy security. Instead of duplicative,
contradictory and costly rules, we should instead focus on how to
protect our environment AND develop our domestic energy resources.”
