Delivering that energy efficiently to communities across the nation is essential to ensuring benefits reach every American family, and pipelines are the safest, most environmentally sound way to do that. Building the infrastructure we need to keep pace with record energy production can support up to 1 million-plus jobs per year by 2035. Job opportunities extend beyond the energy industry. Thirty-two percent of the construction industry workforce is employed on energy projects, which generate economic activity throughout the supply chain. Affordable energy is also bringing - or in some cases, restoring - manufacturing jobs to struggling towns. Citing energy savings, the chemical manufacturing industry alone has announced enough planned investments to support a projected 786,000 U.S. jobs -- more than the population of Detroit. Eighty-four percent of U.S. voters support building energy infrastructure, and it's easy to see why. While family budgets are being squeezed by ever-increasing costs for healthcare (up 73% over 10 years), education (58%) and food (26%), household energy costs have dropped 10.5%. Americans are saving $300 billion compared to 2010. And energy infrastructure contributes to cleaner air, delivering the clean natural gas responsible for driving carbon emissions to their lowest levels in a generation. A backlog of pipeline projects means a backlog of new job opportunities waiting to be filled by U.S workers. Cutting the red tape standing in the way of 21st century energy infrastructure is the right move for working families. Mike Sommers President & CEO API EPA Putting Consumers' Vehicles at Risk Government policies that push more E15 gasoline into the marketplace put consumers at risk. Nearly three out of four cars on the road are not designed to use E15, which vehicle testing demonstrates can cause engine and fuel system damage.
