The domestic fossil fuel industry contributes nearly $2 trillion to the economy per year while supporting millions of jobs, impacting every state including those led by Democrats.
"Natural gas and oil delivers growing economic contributions to America that were nearly equivalent to Canada’s annual GDP last year," API President and CEO Mike Sommers said in a statement Tuesday. "From Pennsylvania to California, America’s natural gas and oil workforce is the backbone of communities, supporting nearly 11 million careers throughout the energy supply chain." Thomas Catenacci is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
"America’s economic outlook is brighter when we are leading the world in energy production and this analysis serves as a reminder that we need policies and regulations that encourage investment and enable development," Sommers continued.
