Statement of AGA President and CEO David N. Parker On President Bush?s Proposal on Global Climate Change Peggy Laramie (202) 824-7204 February 14, 2002 PR - 10 ?Our first impression of President Bush?s proposal for reducing greenhouse gas emissions is positive. While we have not yet had a chance to study it in detail, we applaud the plan?s approach of providing incentives for voluntary emission reductions and linking the reduction goals to gross domestic product and our nation?s economic health and security. The concepts in this proposal seem consistent with the ideas promoted in the American Gas Foundation?s landmark 2000 study: Fueling the Future, Natural Gas and New Technologies for a Cleaner 21st Century. That is, economic growth and environmental protection are achievable through conservation, new technologies and the use of clean fuels such as natural gas. ?Voluntary emission-reduction programs can work well, as is the case with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency?s Natural Gas STAR program. A number of AGA-member natural gas utilities and interstate pipelines participate in this program, which has resulted in more efficient use of energy, dollar savings for our members and reductions of 176 billion cubic feet of methane emissions since 1993 ? the equivalent of emissions from 14 million cars. ?The key is to set environmental goals, provide an economic incentive such as lower costs and improved efficiency, and then unleash American ingenuity to achieve our environmental goals. ?Increased use of natural gas can address several environmental challenges simultaneously (including greenhouse gas emissions, smog, acid rain and solid waste) because natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel. New, highly efficient technologies ? ranging from home furnaces to sophisticated combined heat-and-power systems like microturbines combined with desiccant dehumidifiers for commercial applications ? are helping to fuel a strong economy while improving environmental quality.? The American Gas Association represents 187 local energy utility companies that deliver natural gas to more than 52 million homes, businesses and industries throughout the United States. Natural gas meets one-fourth of the United States? energy needs and is the fastest growing major energy source. aga.org ... original American Gas Association 2002 Operations Conference Marriott Hotel Downtown Chicago, Illinois May 12-14 2002 (excerpt from program) ...
