S

parked by growing partisan divide over how the nation should
respond to questions about climate and fueled by increasingly
strident demands from anti-fossil-fuel activists, America's energy
future has been injected into election-year politics in an unprecedented
way. No more is the energy debate concerned merely with determining
how to most efficiently, effectively and safely provide the affordable and
reliable energy resources necessary to power an industrial society and
preserve the American way of life.
Instead, beliefs about energy have taken on near-religious qualities and
invoke feelings of right versus wrong; good versus evil. And federal
energy policy has morphed into blueprints for everything from social
justice and racial equality to economic recovery from a worldwide pandemic.
Caught in the middle is America's independent crude oil and natural
gas industry, which drills 91% of the wells, and produces 83% of the
crude oil and 90% of the natural gas that historically have granted
Americans unparalleled prosperity and a standard of living envied
around the world. At stake in the 2020 presidential election is more
than merely what type of laws and regulations will determine the industry's operating environment, but indeed, to what degree that industry
will be allowed even to operate going forward.
The American Oil & Gas Reporter invited the Donald Trump and Joe
Biden campaigns to participate in a Q&A "debate" of energy issues,
which AOGR has obtained from Republican and Democratic presidential
candidates in every election since George H.W. Bush versus Michael
Dukakis in 1988. However, neither campaign chose to participate.
Therefore, to address questions about what the oil and gas industry
may expect from either a Biden or a second Trump administration,
AOGR turned to experts in political and economic policy analysis to get
their insights into the candidates' views on a number of topics relevant
to U.S. oil and gas producers-from federal regulations to public lands
management and tax policy.
