The second-term representative from west Houston talked to Cornerstone Government Affairs’ Jack Belcher about the complexities and opportunities of energy policy in today’s world. It may seem like Rep. Lizzie Fletcher (D-TX 7th) is in a unique position in the House of Representative as a pro-energy Democrat from the heart of the “Energy Capital of the World.”

Anne Bradbury, CEO of the American Exploration & Production Council (AXPC), whose membership is composed of 25 of America’s premier independent natural gas and oil exploration and production companies, joined Jack Belcher for our latest Energy Policy Watch to discuss the already busy energy policy landscape merely three months into the Biden administration.

There’s no way to spin it, these are scary and challenging times for oil and gas executives as the Biden administration turns energy policy 180 degrees and focuses nearly everything through the lens of climate change, while industry opponents gear up to seize their opportunities over the next four years. Here’s an in-depth look at energy policy and oil and gas in 2021.

Hart Energy and Cornerstone have teamed up to bring you Energy Policy Watch. In this first installment, host Jack Belcher talks to Texas Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick about the Railroad Commission’s actions in unprecedented times and lays out a vision for meeting oil and gas policy challenges of the future.
