Trump is hurting ‘energy renaissance’ in US
2018-07-20
[PRESSTV] The largest US trade association for the oil and natural gas industry hails the beginning of "energy renaissance" in the country, yet warning policies by US President Donald Trump

could disrupt it.

The American Petroleum Institute (API) released an analysis Thursday, announcing a new record in the country’s crude oil and natural gas production in June.

Still, the sector might not thrive and that due to tariffs placed on steel and iron imports by the president, the API suggested.

"For the energy renaissance to continue, the US natural gas and oil industry critically needs policies that advance energy infrastructure around the country as well as the access of US energy to global markets," the association said in its statement.

According to the analysis, production of natural gas hit 4 million barrels per day while production of crude topped 10.7 million barrels per day.

"US oil production has supplied all of the growth in global oil demand so far this year and helped compensate for production losses in some OPEC nations," the API said. "With continued increases in drilling activity, the US is poised for further production increases in natural gas and oil."

Despite having imposed the tariffs, President Trump took the opportunity at his NATO

meetings in the EU de facto capital Brussels last week to market the US oil and natural gas exports.

#6  PressTV owned by Iran, although sadly more honest than our US MSM.

I think it looks like the same old dishonesty to me, but what do I know, I'm just in the industry, and suffered a lot under the Zero as a result.

#5  This all reminds me of Reagan standing strong against the Soviets and all the liberals pissing themselves because they were certain he was going to destroy us all while most conservatives understood brinkmanship as a tactic.

Of course the pants wetting probably convinced the soviets that Reagan was crazy so there is that.

Both events, good for the US.
