Tulsa, OK (PRWEB) September 13, 2006 -- Energy Conference offers diverse forum for discussion on topics ranging from domestic production, international relations to global impact of energy on the US Economy. Speakers such as James A. Beck, Hon. Robert W. Jordan, Bob Tippee give substance to conference goal of attaining a more concise energy policy. September 18th is set date for conference which is held in Dallas Texas.
“We are in the time where viable sources of energy decide the economic stability of our nation,” noted Mark A. Stansberry, IEPC founder and Chairman. “America has long had plentiful and cheap sources of energy. This is no longer the case with other nations such as China competing for the very same energy sources. This is why it is so drastically important that our nation produce a comprehensive energy policy and begin to take action once it is in place.”
Many in the energy industry feel that the current energy policy in place is in need of revision. For example, current policy has had the unintended effect of causing shortages of E85, an ethanol and gasoline blend of fuel, in many parts of the country. The bill did not include provisions for drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR) even though some policy experts say "access to the abundant oil reserves in ANWR would strengthen America's energy independence without harming the environment.
“Alternatives are an emerging future, but we also have to look to our current resources of oil & gas, as this is our present. We can find ways to not only be more cost effective, but also more self sufficient and not dependant on sources that are not friendly to the American way of life,” commented Stansberry. “The energy industry is one of the most efficient, environmentally friendly and viable industries in America today. This must not only be applauded, but supported by our government.”
This year’s theme is “America’s Energy Future: A Global Perspective.” The Energy Advocates, Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce, and the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers are serving as Co-Hosts. Dallas Energy Entrepreneur Ed Blessing of Blessing Petroleum is the 2006 Host Chairman for IEPC.
