Allowing US producers to access global markets is expected to add up to 15 948 jobs and US$2.68 billion to the Ohio economy by 2020, according to a report by ICF International.
鈥淭oday鈥檚 resolution sends a strong message of support to the bipartisan coalition in Congress working to lift the ban and create US jobs,鈥� said Chris Zeigler, Executive Director of API Ohio. 鈥淩emoving this outdated policy will promote domestic production, creating jobs in Ohio and generating savings for consumers. America鈥檚 growth as an energy superpower will promote our security and the security of our allies overseas.鈥�
Sponsored by Senator Troy Balderson (R-Zanesville), SCR 6 urges Congress to lift 1970s era restrictions on exports of crude oil from the US. The US House of Representatives is expected to vote on legislation to lift the ban this Friday.
鈥淎merica is experiencing an energy revolution,鈥� said Zeigler. 鈥淲e are no longer debating American energy policy in terms of scarcity. Today we have the opportunity to harness the opportunities created by energy abundance, all thanks to proven technologies like horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing.鈥漈he American Petroleum Institute鈥檚 Ohio Division today welcomed passage of an Ohio Senate resolution calling for removal of the federal ban on crude oil exports.
