High energy costs and public safety

Most people don’t think about it, but higher energy costs can even affect public safety. Here’s a story about a town in New Mexico where the local sheriff must make the hard choice between paying higher fuel costs for patrol vehicles or paying the department’s deputies the salaries they deserve.

We have a profound understanding about how higher energy costs impact the daily lives of the American people. We actually just aired a new national television commercial that shares that very message.

But saying we support affordable energy costs doesn’t mean that we can’t continue to make progress on improving the environment.

We’ve done exactly that over the past 35 years, and we’ll continue to do that going forward. The key is technology.
