Chairman's Corner
Tony Clark and Favil West
Nevada State Energy Forum Co-ChairmenWe would like to thank all the elected officials, veterans and citizens who are currently supporting the Keystone XL Pipeline, and have signed onto our letter to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
We believe that the development of the Keystone XL Pipeline is in our country’s best national interest, and will create jobs, encourage economic growth, provide a stable energy supply and improve our national security. Specifically, the pipeline will provide more than 700,000 barrels of oil each day to refineries along the Texas Gulf Coast.

Myth: Raising taxes on U.S. oil and natural gas companies will lead to America being less dependent on foreign oil and encourage use of alternative sources of energy.
Fact: Historically, higher taxes have resulted in less domestic energy – and restrained supplies often lead to higher energy costs for consumers. In today’s economy, that could stifle a recovery and make Americans more dependent on foreign oil and natural gas. New taxes will make it more expensive for oil and natural gas companies to initiate traditional and alternative energy exploration and development programs, putting our nation further behind in the race for more energy.
