Chairman's Corner
Keystone XL Pipeline , Oct 17th
We 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.
Nevada Energy Forum Luncheon Thank You, Aug 16th
We would like to thank all who attended the Nevada Energy Forum Luncheon on Tuesday, August 9th featuring guest speakers Congressman Joe Heck and Energy Expert of the American Petroleum Institute (API), Rayola Dougher. This informational luncheon took place at the M Resort and Casino, and highlighted conversations on America’s energy and resources.
Congressman Heck emphasized the importance of weaning off foreign energy sources, as a matter of both national and economic defense. He also stressed how the nation must focus on three critical areas: fossil fuels, renewable energy and nuclear power. He also said that Nevada, as well as the nation, needs to explore new sources of fossil fuels and develop new technologies to decrease negative effects on the environment.
