3. 20 minutes-
The Frac Act needs to be proposed this year- any updates from the sponsors?
The members of the Natural Gas Caucus seem to me like an obvious place to focus our educational efforts. I'd like to hear from activists in the caucus members districts. Info follows.
There was a letter from the Natural Gas Caucus http://naturalgascaucus.murphy.house.gov/ to Ken Salazar, Dept of Interior asking the dept to "refrain from placing any new regulatory burdens on natural gas exploration and production today."
The primary goals of the Caucus are:
1. The promotion of responsible exploration and development of natural gas;
2. Pushing legislation and a regulatory environment that encourages the production, transmission, distribution, and use of natural gas;
3. Exploring responsible ways to expand the use of natural gas - Chemical, manufacturing, transportation, and energy as it fits in a portfolio of energy resources;
4. And matching supply and demand to create a secure and stable environment for producers and users.
