Washington, D.C. – American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) President and CEO Chet Thompson issued the following statement today urging Congress to pass the federal permitting reform bill:
“Democrats and Republicans have said for decades that our permitting system needs fixing. Now it’s time to get it done.
“America is the world’s energy superpower, and we should have the infrastructure to match. But outdated permitting rules too often stand in the way of building the energy infrastructure our country and consumers need to thrive. That is why AFPM supports the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act.
“BAAJA would drive more investment in American energy and manufacturing, and that means more jobs, stronger energy security and more affordable fuels and petrochemicals for our whole country.”
The American Fuel & Petrochemical Manufacturers (AFPM) is the leading trade association representing the makers of the fuels that keep us moving, the petrochemicals that are the essential building blocks for modern life, and the midstream companies that get our feedstocks and products where they need to go. We make the products that make life better, safer and more sustainable — we make progress.
