The BEN Declaration

To those who spread fear and uncertainty about what’s to come, we say …

We don’t accept your version of the future. We’re not going there.

We Are BEN—and we declare:

Energy independence is essential for American independence.

Prosperity and quality of life for all Americans are the most important factors when making energy decisions.

Americans should be free to use the energy sources that work best and cost the least.

We can protect our environment by responsibly using all forms of energy.

We should use our technology and innovation to further clean up energy sources that are already the most affordable and reliable.

There is no reason to fear an energy crisis in America if we embrace all the energy that is available to us.

We should let the American energy industry thrive without political agendas and government interference.

Our future is bright if we make smart energy decisions.
