WASHINGTON – Independent Petroleum Association of America (IPAA) President & CEO Jeff Eshelman issued the following statement today in response to Senator Dave McCormick’s Inaugural Pennsylvania Energy and Innovation Summit in Pittsburgh:

“As a native Pennsylvanian, I’m proud to see President Trump and Senator McCormick recognize the commonwealth’s contribution to American energy dominance. Pennsylvania is the nation’s second largest energy producer. A broad energy agenda – from nuclear to fossil fuels – is a win for jobs, the national economy and local communities, our national security and international allies. Pennsylvania’s energy is a literal powerhouse. It is vital in domestic and global leadership, and the investments announced today will only build upon the commonwealth’s critical role. The United States is the envy of the world in energy production, and the ingenuity we’ve developed, will continue to make our nation a leader in technology as well.”
