At last week’s State of American Energy event in Washington, D.C., we interviewed some of the attendees on the future of U.S. energy development – which we’ll share in future posts. Below, BP America Executive Vice President Dave Nagel talks about America’s opportunity to move toward energy self-sufficiency through purposeful and careful management of its oil and natural gas reserves:
“We need infrastructure to deliver it, we need the right regulatory framework to do it in a responsible way but not in a way that blocks development of our energy. … You compare where the U.S. is relative to other parts of the world and we are in a very strong position. … We shouldn’t turn our back on this great opportunity.”
Here’s video from the interview:
