In the face of global economic challenges, it is critical that action be taken to support our nation’s domestic oil and gas industry and the workers and businesses that supply them. NSSGA encourages an “all-of-the-above” energy policy that allows for greater investment in the domestic production and supply of energy resources to normalize the availability and cost of energy inputs. Aggregates and industrial sand producers face volatile and ever-changing fuel inputs that hamper our ability to reliably produce materials. We urge expanded investments in domestic energy infrastructure that will create thousands of jobs, while also providing our country with a diverse and durable energy industry. These investments will incorporate multiple sectors and ensure energy resources are reliably and efficiently delivered to millions of Americans. Policies must recognize there will be a long transition period moving towards greater reliance on renewable energy and it is impossible for industries to change overnight. Efforts to reinforce the strained energy sector will help minimize future dependence on foreign producers and maintain America’s position as a global energy producer.
