Energy is Everything

Think about energy. It’s all around us – in fuels and products that make life better, more comfortable. Yet energy’s value goes even deeper: What do you want to do? Where do you want to go? What do you want to become? Energy is integrally involved in the answers to all three. It’s absolutely fundamental to both prosperity and opportunity.

Today, electricity is available virtually everywhere in the U.S., and conveniences are broadly affordable. Energy plays its part. Conversely, even in a 21st century world, more than 1 billion people around the globe lack access to electricity and more than 2 billion are without clean cooking facilities – and their lives are a struggle. Energy is foundational to broad, societal progress – but also to individual prosperity.
