Oil and gas industry leaders voice 'unbelievable' worries about the
election and America's 'business killer'
The presidential candidate who increases oil production will also lower
everyday prices, inflation, experts tell Fox News Digital

US energy, oil and gas experts reveal how everyday prices and inflation
will come down
This time of year across the Allegheny National Forest in Northwest
Pennsylvania, the white pine, maple, chestnut and black cherry trees
scattered within the tall, hilly landscape turn deeper colors of orange
and yellow.

To an unassuming eye, visitors of the forest may never know that
numerous oil and gas wells are quietly and continually pumping out the
resource. But the smaller companies who call this place home, like
Cameron Energy, are worried the 2024 presidential election has put their
livelihoods on the line.

"Some nights it's hard to fall asleep," lawyer-turned-Cameron Energy
founder Arthur Stewart told Fox News Digital. "We have 55 employees. The
pressures of worrying about the paycheck every two weeks are enormous.
We're suffering with inflation just like everybody else, and it's a
business killer. There's just no other way to say it. And so the worries
we have about this election are unbelievable."

"We work hard so that everybody around us can have an affordable, modern
life-supporting energy that's domestically produced and safely,"
Cameron’s environmental care coordinator Tyler Martin also said.

INTO DETAIL

"We have the cleanest streams in our area. In the United States, within
our borders, we can produce energy cleaner than they can in other
countries. And if you're an environmentalist, that should be important,"
Martin continued. "We should produce it here."

Trump versus Harris energy policy

Martin and IWF's Gabriella Hoffman, who compared and contrasted Trump's
and Harris' respective energy platforms. (Fox News)

Cameron Energy’s founder, spokesperson and an independent policy analyst
compared and contrasted former President Donald Trump’s and Vice
President Kamala Harris’ respective energy platforms as detailed on
their campaign websites, and urged domestic oil production as the answer
to getting U.S. prices down.

Democratic nominee Harris has proposed an "opportunity economy." On her
campaign website under the "Issues" tab, the economy is seemingly her
top priority, but any oil and gas-related policies are found in the
tenth and last subsection.

She will reportedly "tackle the climate crisis as she builds on this
historic work, advance environmental justice, protect public lands and
public health, increase resilience to climate disasters, lower household
energy costs, create millions of new jobs, and continue to hold
polluters accountable to secure clean air and water for all."

"I still believe that what Kamala Harris said when she was running for
president in 2019, that she wants to ban all fracking, is the real
Kamala Harris… You want to know what a real climate crisis would be? If
there wasn't energy to run air conditioners in Arizona, if there wasn't
natural gas to heat homes in Maine or Massachusetts or Pennsylvania or
in our hospitals, anywhere. A real crisis would be if you couldn't make
the plastics for hospitals. And I don't think that her policy
understands that remotely," Stewart said in response.

Cameron’s biggest customer is a Pennsylvania-based refining company that
converts oil into high-quality wax, plastics and lubricants used
primarily for hospital, cosmetic and food packaging products.

"It looks like another soundbite of word salad to me. Sounds like
there's a lot of feel-good terms in there for her base, [but] doesn't
really speak to any solutions," Martin said. "We're not out here to
pollute. We're not out here to do something wrong for people. We're just
out here to make a living, to make our way and to provide affordable
energy for all Americans."

"She's going to double down from what she and President Biden are
currently doing, pivoting to a net-zero energy direction," Independent
Women’s Forum Center for Energy and Conservation director Gabriella
Hoffman also told Fox Digital.

Hoffman spotlighted data from the Department of Energy that estimates a
9% increase in electricity demand by 2028, and a more recent report that
61 existing or recently retired domestic nuclear facilities can be
brought back online to boost clean energy supply.

"[Nuclear] uses the least amount of land," she said. "But you don't see
that rhetoric in that language deployed there… for the [Harris-Walz]
administration to say we're going to continue our work with the
[Inflation Reduction Act], we're going to continue our work with
boosting and supercharging unreliable, intermittent solar and wind, it
doesn't leave energy experts and energy-conscious folks with a lot of
confidence."

MICROSOFT DEAL WOULD REOPEN PENNSYLVANIA NUCLEAR PLANT, SITE OF 1979
PARTIAL MELTDOWN, TO POWER A.I.

On Trump’s campaign website, within his publicly listed platform
stances, his first priority is to "defeat inflation and quickly bring
down all prices." The first step to that, his campaign writes, is to
unleash American energy by "lifting restrictions on American energy
production, terminating the Socialist Green New Deal, unleashing energy
production from all sources, including nuclear, to immediately slash
inflation."

"That's a statement by a man who's in business and understands that
energy is in everything, and we need all forms of energy. We shouldn't
do away with nuclear. We shouldn't do away with wind or solar. We should
respect and understand what their role is," Stewart said. "Sixty-six
percent of our electricity around the world still comes from fossil
fuels. So it's not something that we can just wipe our hands and think
we're going to do away with it."

While she wishes Trump’s platform "had a couple more details"
articulating his energy policies and vision, Hoffman pointed to his
first administration's record on oil and gas.

"Before they unleashed energy, they opened up a historic amount of oil
and gas leases, almost 5,000 across their four years… We saw clean air,
clean water conditions steadily improve," she said. "If we're truly
looking to pivot to a clean energy future while also maintaining coal,
oil and gas where appropriate… I would say the alternative, something as
a good supplement to what we currently have, is nuclear. It uses the
least amount of land, about one square-mile for a facility that powers
1,000 megawatts. So the least land-exhausted, 24/7 baseload power, a 93%
capacity factor."

All three called for less legislative restraint on the industry, arguing
it would strengthen national security and help alleviate inflation.

"If the United States were to say, we're done producing natural gas, and
we have to import that, it's either coming in liquefied or coming in a
pipeline from Canada. And that costs energy, that costs money, and of
course, it sacrifices jobs in the United States. But we need to produce
it locally in order to help with inflation because it's going to be
cheaper that way," Martin explained.

Sommers

"Three things have to happen: permitting reform, deregulation, and then
obviously inviting more private sector companies to truly bid on these
energy sources and kind of innovate ahead of the government, instead of
relying solely on the government for incentives for subsidies," Hoffman
expanded. "Because it's going to really affect the market negatively and
just create a very kind of perilous regulatory environment going forward
where you have these intermittent sources contrasted against or
replacing tested, reliable baseload power. And that's again, going to
lead to higher bills if you don't know how to meet the demand and
storage as well."

In a statement to Fox News Digital, the Trump campaign said he's the
"only" candidate with plans to make American energy dominant again, and
claimed Harris' "Green New Scam" would kill good-paying jobs in
Pennsylvania and across the heartland.

"Oil and gas companies, like Cameron Energy, in Pennsylvania and across
the country are suffering from Kamala Harris’ dangerously liberal
environmental policies that put America’s cleaner energy on the
backburner for energy from foreign countries. Kamala Harris proudly
helped Joe Biden implement all of his disastrous policies, including his
war on American energy that created the worst inflation crisis in a
generation," Trump campaign national press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

The Harris-Walz campaign did not respond to Fox News Digital's request
for comment.

Jack Otter and the ‘Barron’s Roundtable’ panelists discuss what factors
are propelling the revival of nuclear energy in the United States.video
Why is nuclear energy making a comeback in America?

"We can achieve peace through strength. And strength comes in many
forms. If we have a strong economy, we have peace. If we have a strong
military, we have peace. If we have a strong energy industry, we have
peace through it. And that's peace for everybody. And I would hope that
all voters could agree with at least some of that," Martin said.

"I'm old enough to remember the 1970s," Stewart pointed out, "when we
didn't have enough oil to power this country, and we had odd and even
days at the gas stations."

"And when you have either the threat of world wars that we have going on
right now, with the trouble in Russia and Ukraine and the trouble in the
Middle East, those aren't good things for any business. It's a bad thing
for our business, because if prices spike, that's almost as bad, and
it's almost as unpredictable as the inflationary cycle that we're in
right now. So I would like to live in a country that exercised political
restraint."

Leftist posters on here that state " but we are producing more oil than
ever before" do not understand that there is a increase demand every
year in oil. That 8 or 9 percent demand increase by 2028 is from todays
demand. We have not even met todays demand in the terms of oil
production. We are way ...

Civilization itself requires a cheap, dependable source of energy. When
energy becomes more expensive it forces to cost of EVERYTHING higher and
those costs remain high as long as energy remains more costly.

If you vote Harris, you vote for a future living in squalor. That will
be the result of the continued climate policy. Spending trillions on
climate that humans cannot change. You may as well take your money out
to the fire pit and light it up. The result will be the same. EVs are
worse than either ...
