Dear Attorney General Nessel,

I urge you to drop your plans to conduct lawfare against American oil and gas companies.

Your lawsuit won’t include Russia, Iran, Qatar, Venezuela, and many other countries that produce oil.  Sadly, these other countries would benefit greatly from a loss of American production of gas and oil.  The loss of American oil and gas supply would result in a significant rise in the price of oil.

Higher gas prices over the past four years have financially stressed millions of families.  Additionally, the higher energy costs played the primary role in boosting the cost of all products.

If your lawfare goal of eliminating American produced gas and petro as an energy source is achieved it will:

•    Substantially drive up the cost of energy for every American.
•    Add to the already high rate of inflation for most products.
•    Enrich foreign countries that will be able to sell petro products at higher prices.
•    Jeopardize the jobs of 10.3 million Americans who work for oil and gas companies.
•    Destroy American energy independence.

Your planned lawsuit is nothing more than lawfare advocacy for the green industry that has failed to achieve economical and efficient energy for the consumer.  Such lawsuits trying to eliminate petroleum and gas from the market place appear to be quid pro quo for Big Green.  

I urge you to drop your plans to conduct lawfare against American oil and gas companies.
