In our society today, energy is life, and knowledge is power. When trying to understand what is happening with the oil and gas markets, you must find trusted sources for information. The API is a great resource and has fantastic resources. When the US Biden Administration declares war on energy, oil, and gas and practices "Legislation Through Regulations," a resource you can look to for leadership is critical.

I enjoyed talking with Gifford Briggs, API's Gulf Coast Region Director, today. We discussed some critical points, such as the pause on LNG export permits and climate change.

One thing was clear: I need more time with Gifford on future discussions. I am looking forward to our next visit. - Thank you, Gifford, for your time and expertise in the energy sector! - Stu
