Washington Examiner (Jan. 15, 2021) – The largest U.S. oil and gas lobby group, the American Petroleum Institute, is promising to fight President-elect Joe Biden’s proposed ban on new oil and gas drilling on public lands and waters, but the fossil fuel industry also sees opportunities to work with the new administration on combating climate change.
“If he is interested in finding commonsense solutions, President Biden has a willing and able partner in the oil and gas industry,” Mike Sommers, the CEO of the American Petroleum Institute, told the Washington Examiner in an exclusive interview ahead of its State of American Energy event on Wednesday, in which the industry previews priorities for the new year.
