Global demand just reached 100 million barrels per day, and it's no secret that the U.S. shale revolution is the reason this demand is being met. And the only thing more impressive than the innovation that has gone into achieving this record is that we have done so while leading the world in the reduction of emissions. The increased use of natural gas to fuel power generation is the number one reason U.S. CO2 emissions have reached their lowest level in a generation, even while CO2 emissions around the globe have risen 50 percent since 1990. This efficient, affordable energy is also an essential partner to intermittent renewables like wind and solar in electricity generation, providing a stable energy source that can be dispatched 24/7 and is flexible enough to follow changes in the supply and demand - even when the wind doesn't blow or the sun doesn't shine. As the United States' leading energy source for generating electricity, natural gas generation has improved the stability and balance of our nation's power system. Building a better future takes energy, and that's why the U.S. natural gas and oil industry has invested more than any other industry sector in zero- and low-emissions technologies since 2000 - to deliver the affordable and reliable energy Americans need while protecting the environment and the health of our communities.
