-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(ROTH):
"'A-P-I' AND THE 'MINNESOTA PETROLEUM COUNCIL' ARE LAUNCHING A NEW CAMPAIGN THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE NATURAL-GAS- AND
OIL-INDUSTRY'S LEADERSHIP IN REDUCING EMISSIONS TO RECORD-LOW LEVELS; IT ALSO CALLS FOR COMMON GROUND IN THE ENERGY-DEBATE, BOTH IN 20-20 AND BEYOND.
IN MINNESOTA ALONE, OUR INDUSTRY SUPPORTS ALMOST 120-THOUSAND JOBS--AND CONTRIBUTES MORE THAN
14-BILLION DOLLARS, EACH YEAR, TO THE STATE'S ECONOMY. WHAT'S MORE,
AMERICA'S 'SHALE BOOM' HAS SPECIFICALLY CREATED A NUMBER OF NEW PIPE-TRADE
JOBS--RIGHT HERE, IN THE STATE OF MINNESOTA. TODAY'S AFFORDABLE ENERGY PROVIDES GREATER
STABILITY--WHICH ALLOWS BUSINESSES TO PLAN BETTER FOR THEIR FUTURE. INDEED, ENERGY IS TIED TO EVERYTHING THAT BUSINESSES
DO--FROM THE NATURAL GAS THAT'S USED TO POWER MANUFACTURING-FACILITIES AND RETAIL-STORES ALIKE, TO THE FUEL THAT THEY RELY ON TO TRANSPORT PRODUCTS.
LOW-COST ENERGY HELPS TO KEEP THESE BUSINESSES OPERATING--SO THAT FAMILIES CAN CONTINUE TO EARN A DECENT
LIVING."
Mr. Roth is also the executive director of the Wisconsin Petroleum Council.
