-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(MACCHIAROLA):
"THE RISKS OF CLIMATE-CHANGE ARE REAL--AND THE SOLUTIONS MUST BE EQUALLY REAL.
OUR INDUSTRY IS FOCUSED ON REDUCING GREENHOUSE-GAS EMISSIONS--WHILE ALSO PROVIDING ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE AND RELIABLE ENERGY THAT ENHANCES STANDARDS-OF-LIVING, AROUND THE WORLD.
AT THE SAME TIME THAT THE UNITED STATES BECAME THE LEADING PRODUCER OF NATURAL GAS, U-S CARBON-DIOXIDE EMISSIONS DECLINED TO THEIR LOWEST LEVELS IN A GENERATION.
WE ARE LEADING THE WORLD IN 'G-H-G'-EMISSION REDUCTIONS--AND WE'RE NOT WAITING FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO TAKE ACTION.
INSTEAD, WE ARE MEETING THIS CHALLENGE HEAD-ON--THROUGH ADVANCEMENTS IN CLEANER FUELS, AND INNOVATION.
NOW MORE THAN EVER, WE NEED BIPARTISAN POLICY-SOLUTIONS--TO REDUCE THE RISKS OF CLIMATE-CHANGE.
WE REJECT THE FALSE CHOICE BETWEEN PROTECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND GROWING THE ECONOMY; WE CAN DO BOTH.
THAT'S WHY THE OIL- AND NATURAL-GAS-INDUSTRY SUPPORTS BIPARTISAN LEGISLATION THAT ADVANCES TECHNOLOGIES SUCH AS
'CARBON CAPTURE'. WORKING TOGETHER, WE WILL HELP CONTINUE TO ADVANCE SOLUTIONS."
