-- How Will You Use This Story? --
(MORIN):
"'A-P-I' AND THE 'VIRGINIA PETROLEUM COUNCIL' ARE LAUNCHING A NEW CAMPAIGN THAT HIGHLIGHTS THE NATURAL-GAS- AND
OIL-INDUSTRY'S LEADERSHIP IN REDUCING EMISSIONS TO RECORD-LOW LEVELS; IT ALSO CALLS FOR COMMON GROUND IN THE ENERGY-DEBATE, IN 20-20 AND BEYOND.
AMERICA'S 'ENERGY REVOLUTION' HAS BENEFITED VIRGINIA--BY SUPPORTING TOURISM, STRENGTHENING MILITARY-OPERATIONS, AND GROWING LOCAL ECONOMIES.
IN FACT, THANKS IN LARGE PART TO THE SHIPYARDS THROUGHOUT HAMPTON ROADS--PLUS THE NAVAL BASE IN
NORFOLK--DOMESTIC ENERGY-PRODUCTION ISN'T JUST POWERING ECONOMIC-GROWTH;
IT'S ALSO ENABLING NATIONAL SECURITY. THAT'S BECAUSE NATURAL GAS AND OIL FUEL THE SEAGOING VESSELS THAT CONNECT THE U-S WITH TRADING-PARTNERS, AND PROTECT AMERICAN INTERESTS.
WHAT'S MORE, LOW ENERGY-COSTS LEAD TO PRICE-STABILITY AND JOB-CREATION--FOR INDIVIDUAL BUSINESSES AND ENTIRE INDUSTRIES.
STABLE AND PREDICTABLE PRICES HELP MANUFACTURERS BUILD BUSINESS-PLANS WITH GREATER
CONFIDENCE--WHICH, ULTIMATELY, TRANSLATES INTO JOB-GROWTH. AND, LOW ENERGY-BILLS MEAN THAT HOUSEHOLDS HAVE A BETTER CHANCE TO THRIVE.
OPENING FEDERAL OFFSHORE-AREAS TO THE SAFE DEVELOPMENT OF NATURAL GAS AND OIL COULD BRING EVEN-MORE ECONOMIC-BENEFITS TO
VIRGINIA--CREATING TENS-OF-THOUSANDS OF JOBS, AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN INDUSTRY-SPENDING AND ECONOMIC-CONTRIBUTIONS."
