Press Release
April 30, 2013
U.S. Chamber Energy Institute president and CEO Karen Harbert made the following statement regarding today’s news that North Dakota has significantly more oil and gas than previously known:
 
“The latest federal assessment of the amount of technically-recoverable oil and gas reserves in North Dakota is double what was estimated five years ago, providing  further evidence that we are just at the beginning of a dramatic resurgence of American energy.  American ingenuity and the private sector have positioned energy as a true America’s comeback story, creating millions of jobs and revenue for American communities across the country.   Energy is a bright spot for our economy so it is high time that this Administration welcome this private sector funded stimulus and rescind its decision to block the vast majority of federal lands from production and unleash even greater potential.”
