Cramer Highlights Roosevelt Library, Permitting Reform at Energy Infrastructure Conference
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Hundreds of energy industry executives gathered in Miami this week for the 23rd Annual Energy Infrastructure CEO & Investor Conference. For three days, these industry leaders participated in discussions and panels on energy infrastructure.
Prior to the start of the conference, U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), chair of the Senate Environment and Public Works Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee, joined the New York Stock Exchange's Ashley Mastronardi for an interview to discuss how meeting energy demand requires capital formation, which needs regulatory certainty.
Cramer kicked off the event, welcoming executives alongside Theodore Roosevelt IV, the great-grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt. Fittingly, the two highlighted the Theodore Roosevelt Presidential Library, which opens this summer in Medora, N.D.
The library will honor Roosevelt, his transformative time spent in North Dakota, and his service to the nation as the 26th President. It will focus on three principles Roosevelt embodied: conservation, leadership, and citizenship.
"It was an honor to join Ted Roosevelt on stage to invite everyone to ND to visit the library and feel the presence of our 26th President!" said Cramer.
The following morning, Cramer also gave keynote remarks and participated in a panel with financial executives from leading banks, highlighting permitting reform and capital formation. Cramer is a vocal proponent of permitting reform as a method of unlocking the infrastructure needed to power rising energy demands. He often recites one of his convictions, "not every transaction requires a loser," to highlight the bipartisan cooperation needed to secure permitting reform and facilitate certainty for infrastructure investments.
"I was honored to keynote & participate in a panel with Ted Roosevelt of Barclays, Mark Widman of PNC Bank, Timm Fenn of Latham & Watkins at the EIC CEO & Investor Conference," said Cramer. "Permitting reform and capital formation were front and center."
