AFTERNOON TEA
Grilling, Chilling, and Drilling
We all know the energy concerns that American families face in the summer months. Increased gas prices as we hit the roads for summer vacations. Rising electricity bills as we turn on the air conditioning to beat the heat. And, the best way to address those concerns is with affordable, reliable and clean energy like American natural gas and oil.
But, you may not realize that our summer vacations and activities are made possible by a number of other products derived from petroleum. In fact, over 6,000 everyday products and high-tech devices are possible because of American oil and natural gas.
A day on the water might find you pulling out the fishing gear, slipping on a life jacket to go out on the boat or simply grabbing a cold drink from the cooler—all made possible by petroleum. And, we can celebrate with our family and friends in our own backyards fueled by petroleum products like the propane grilling our food, picnic supplies and pool toys.
This is the time of year to enjoy vacations and outdoor celebrations with our friends and families. Affordable, reliable and clean energy like American oil and natural gas already fuel so much of our summer activities but they also make even the most basic parts of days possible.
