(SOUNDBITE #1, BY
BETHANY ARONHALT):
"OUR INDUSTRY IS LEADING THE WAY, IN MEETING THE WORLD'S GROWING
ENERGY-DEMAND--WHILE DELIVERING SOLUTIONS, TO REDUCE GREENHOUSE-GAS EMISSIONS:
THE NATURAL-GAS- AND OIL-INDUSTRY CONTINUES TO DRIVE EMISSIONS TO THEIR LOWEST LEVELS IN A GENERATION.
AND, AS THIS NEW 'N-P-C [NATIONAL PETROLEUM COUNCIL]'-STUDY SHOWS, WE CAN BUILD ON THIS
PROGRESS--BY FOSTERING COLLABORATION BETWEEN THE PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SECTORS, AND ALSO [BY] ADVANCING
'CARBON CAPTURE'-RESEARCH AND -DEVELOPMENT. THAT'S WHY WE ARE URGING CONGRESS TO MAKE BIPARTISAN
'CARBON CAPTURE'-LEGISLATION A PRIORITY--AND SUPPORT INNOVATIVE EFFORTS TO REDUCE EMISSIONS, AND ACHIEVE ENVIRONMENTAL PROGRESS."
(SOUNDBITE #2, BY EMILY
SMITH):
"INVESTING IN ENERGY-INFRASTRUCTURE IS ESSENTIAL, TO SUSTAINING AND GROWING
AMERICA'S ENERGY-LEADERSHIP, KEEPING ENERGY-COSTS LOW FOR WORKING FAMILIES, AND PROMOTING ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT.
BUT, RED TAPE IS STALLING INFRASTRUCTURE-PROJECTS--NOT JUST IN THE ENERGY-INDUSTRY, BUT ACROSS THE ENTIRE U-S ECONOMY.
AS WE CONSIDER WAYS TO UNLOCK AMERICA'S INFRASTRUCTURE-POTENTIAL, MODERNIZING THE
'NATIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL-POLICY ACT'S' MAZE OF PERMITTING-RULES IS A NECESSARY
STEP--TO ENSURE SAFE AND ENVIRONMENTALLY RESPONSIBLE DEVELOPMENT OF THE
NATION'S VAST ENERGY-RESOURCES."
