Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) August 28, 2006 -- “Energy will continue to be a driving force in today’s economic picture. This means that a strong energy policy is greatly needed to ensure our continued way of life,” said Mark Stansberry, Chairman and Founder of the annual International Energy Policy Conference and Chairman of The GTD Group. “We are definitely seeing good times in the energy industry, especially in the Oil & Gas sector. However, this is not the time to lay back and coast. We have a window of opportunity to make the necessary changes to our energy policy and educate the American public on these changes.”
