-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(ROTH):
"THE OIL- AND NATURAL-GAS-INDUSTRY SUPPORTED ALMOST 100-THOUSAND JOBS, IN
WISCONSIN--AND CONTRIBUTED WELL OVER EIGHT-BILLION DOLLARS, TO THE
STATE'S ECONOMY--IN 2015. THESE MEN AND WOMEN BUILD ENERGY-INFRASTRUCTURE AND DELIVER
PRODUCTS--HELPING PROVIDE THE ENERGY THAT BUSINESSES AND HOUSEHOLDS NEED.
OIL AND NATURAL GAS TOUCH VIRTUALLY EVERY FACET OF OUR LIVES--FROM HEATING OUR HOMES AND FUELING TRANSPORTATION, TO LIFE-SAVING MEDICAL-DEVICES AND COSMETICS AT THE DRUGSTORE.
AND, WISCONSIN'S PIPELINES PLAY AN IMPORTANT ROLE--NOT JUST WHEN IT COMES TO JOBS AND KEEPING ENERGY AFFORDABLE, BUT ALSO IN PROVIDING BENEFITS TO THE ENVIRONMENT:
THEY HELP BRING TO MARKET THE CRUDE OIL AND NATURAL GAS THAT ORIGINATES IN NORTH DAKOTA AND
CANADA--WHICH UNDERSCORES THE NEED FOR US TO BUILD AND MAINTAIN THIS NECESSARY INFRASTRUCTURE."
Mr. Roth is also the director of the Minnesota Petroleum Council.
