NOIA Highlights Importance of House Energy Week
Washington, D.C. - National Ocean Industries Association (NOIA) President Erik Milito issued the following statement as "Energy Week" kicks off in the U.S. House of Representatives:
"We're pleased to see House Leadership's focus on pressing energy issues during "Energy Week," and applaud the focus on advancing pro-growth policy for our nation's energy future. House Leadership is demonstrating a proactive approach, offering durable solutions to some of our most pressing energy challenges. A strong American energy sector is an enduring source of national security, economic growth, and quality of life.
"We encourage House Leadership to keep the door open to additional energy solutions, particularly those that support our nation's offshore oil and gas sector, such as the BRIDGE Production Act. Legislating offshore oil and gas lease sales at regular intervals and providing the litigation reform necessary to prevent disruption of oil and gas projects through meritless litigation are critical to achieving the comprehensive energy reforms originally proposed in the Lower Energy Costs Act (H.R. 1)."
