Notable quotes

  • We are kind of present all over the world... our goal is to represent consumers who do not want the government to tax, regulate, and intervene much more in our economy.
  • This really relates to many local jurisdictions, also entire states, mainly blue states... where you have attorneys general who have launched lawsuits against oil and gas companies.
  • We actually have research that tacks on every time that you have one of these lawsuits exactly what that bill will mean for you as a consumer when you fill up.
  • This is actually a good bill, and we don't often have that... it would take all of these state lawsuits and essentially render them null.
  • Every time you fuel up your vehicle or every time you pay your heating or air conditioning bill, you do pay a bit of a price for the cost of those lawsuits.
  • The estimate is anywhere from 10 to 15 cents per gallon that has been tied directly to energy lawfare.
