NOIA President Randall Luthi Comments on Nomination of Sally Jewell as Next Interior Secretary 

 

Washington, D.C.National Ocean Industries Association President Randall Luthi today issued the following statement on the nomination of Sally Jewell for Secretary of the Interior:

 

“The nomination of Sally Jewell to be the next Secretary of the Interior is bit of a surprise and will likely be met with a cautious wait-and-see approach by the offshore energy industry. We look forward to hearing about her energy vision for America during the confirmation process. We hope that her business and engineering experience will lead her to recognize the critical importance of our Nation’s offshore energy resources.  NOIA’s members stand ready to work with her in promoting additional access to oil, natural gas, wind, wave and current energy resources on the outer continental shelf and the benefits safe development of these resources bring, including increased jobs, energy security and energy reliability. ”
