Why

At Western Energy Alliance, we believe that American oil and natural gas are an overwhelming force for good, as the foundation of human health, safety and welfare. Our industry not only heats homes, provides mobility, and powers all facets of the economy, but puts food on the table, medicine in the cabinet, and delivers clean drinking water to the tap. Without the energy and products we provide, modern life is not possible. Providing more American oil and natural gas to the world will bring those benefits to the billion people without sufficient energy and help lift them out of poverty.

​What

Because we believe that our products are the key to human welfare, we vigorously defend our ability to develop oil and natural gas. We exist to promote the exploration and production of oil and natural gas in the West and to defend the ability of our members to continue to provide the benefits of oil and natural gas to America and the world. We focus on policies to improve the competitiveness of western public lands by removing regulatory and bureaucratic obstacles, and advancing positive policies that increase certainty when operating in the West.
The U.S. leads the world in reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and the primary reason is natural gas.
In an open letter printed in The New York Times, 54 executives tell 2020 presidential candidates that it “would be criminal not to produce oil and natural gas.”
The Restore Our Parks Act would take money the government collects from oil and natural gas production on non-park, non-wilderness public lands and use it for park maintenance.
