Gingrich and Santorum Declare Need for Robust Energy Development at Colorado Energy Summit

HOUSTON, TX: Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA) is pleased to announce that today’s Colorado Energy Summit drew significant attendance and in-depth views from Presidential candidates Speaker Newt Gingrich and Senator Rick Santorum on the pressing need for a robust “all of the above” domestic energy portfolio to ensure the nation’s continued economic success and competitiveness.

CEA Executive Vice-President Michael Whatley offered the following statement regarding today’s Summit:

“Energy drives the American economy and it is important for the candidates to articulate what kind of energy policy they want for America. We thank Speaker Gingrich and Senator Santorum for attending and connecting the dots between domestic energy production and economic growth.”

“Both speakers understand the tremendous importance of having a robust and balanced energy policy for American families, farms and businesses. It is clear that energy policy will be one of the driving issues in the 2012 election cycle and we look forward to hearing more on these issues from all of the candidates during the coming months.
