The shale revolution here in the U.S. has reduced energy prices for consumers and saved taxpayers money on heating, cooling, and transportation bills. Because of our record production levels, America is less dependent on imports of crude oil and natural gas, which strengthens our trade balances, enhances energy security, and provides widespread economic benefits.

Now the shale revolution will help shippers across the world comply with the International Maritime Organization’s 2020 standards, called “IMO 2020,” which cap sulfur emissions from ships. These standards will have significant benefits for American competitiveness, public health, and the U.S. shale revolution itself.
