Opinion: On energy policy, let’s live in the now

TRIBUNE CONTENT AGENCY • January 6, 2023

Around the world, more than 2 billion people live in energy poverty, and millions of Americans struggle to pay for electricity and transportation fuels. Petroleum and natural gas will be among the most widely needed fuels for at least the next 50 years. In addition to leveraging North American petroleum and natural gas supplies, the United States has an opportunity to promote the advancement of traditional renewable energy sources. To his credit, President Joe Biden has presided over the largest deployment of solar and wind in U.S. history. Continued investment, coupled with a robust natural gas industry, is the best way to keep our economy strong, reduce carbon emissions and expand our electricity generation capacity. ~ Craig Stevens, Grow America’s Infrastructure Now
