In addition to oil and gas production, the area has seen ranching for over a century, has vast agricultural activities, wind turbines and solar panels. The region provides America with energy independence and has strengthened the economies of New Mexico, Texas and the United States. It would be economic malfeasance to introduce even the most minimal risk to the heart of America’s energy production. In the Permian Basin, we’ve worked hard to earn our way of life. Our people, jobs and resources make America great.
