Keystone Energy Forum

Offshore access to Virginia's rich stores of oil and natural gas would strengthen our nation's energy and national security, and boost Virginia's economy.

Virginia's offshore oil and natural gas resources can increase energy security and drive new jobs. These resources can also add billions of dollars in revenue to fund schools, roads and other much-needed services.

We live in an increasingly complex world in which increased reliance on foreign energy sources is a threat to our energy security -- and national security.

The United States' energy demand is projected to grow through 2030. Using all viable sources - fossil fuels, renewables, and alternative energy supplies- America is striving to meet its growing energy demands.
