Tariff Stability Needed For Projects To Move Ahead

Tariffs are a hidden energy policy – difficult to predict and hitting the oil and gas industry in unexpected ways.

Public debate on US energy policy is typically focused on fuel choices: oil, gas or renewables. Yet, it's not just the fuel choice that matters. Too little attention is paid to the infrastructure that moves, processes and stores energy.

Pipelines, wiring, pump stations, tank farms, compressor stations and storage facilities form the backbone of our energy system. Infrastructure projects are capital‑intensive and require years of planning, engineering and permitting. They also depend on a complex global supply chain that delivers high‑grade steels, copper wiring, precision valves, control systems and compressor drives that are often sourced from Europe, Asia or Canada.
