U.S. Senator Rick Santorum Confirms Attendance at Colorado Election Energy Summit HOUSTON, TX: Consumer Energy Alliance (CEA), has partnered with the Colorado Oil and Gas Association and Colorado Farm Bureau to host the upcoming 2012 Colorado Election Energy Summit being held on February 6, 2012 at the Colorado School of Mines. The event will be the first in the U.S. presidential race to discuss the importance of responsible energy development for the nation's economic future and move towards increased energy security. This release not only announces the event, but also welcomes presidential candidate Rick Santorum as a featured, and confirmed, guest. The Summit will provide a unique opportunity for federal, state, and local officials to discuss current energy issues and how development is transforming the nation and global energy markets. A key highlight will be a town hall meeting where Mr. Santorum, and other invited Republican presidential candidates, will provide thoughtful and in-depth discussions on how responsible energy development is helping move the nation forward. Media will also be able to engage individual candidates for one-on-one interviews before and after the town hall discussion. CEA President David Holt released the following statement: "We are excited to announce the attendance of former Senator Rick Santorum and other influential public officials and industry leaders for our upcoming energy summit. Given Mr. Santorum's years of public service and clear understanding of the importance of developing domestic energy we look forward to hearing his input on this important subject that is driving the nation's economic recovery" "This summit has become all the more important in light of President Obama's remarks in Tuesday's State of the Union. CEA remains optimistic that we will begin to see more support for a clear and robust U.S. energy strategy - including oil and gas development -- which provides over nine million jobs nationally while promoting our energy independence. We look forward to hosting this event in Colorado, which remains a leader in national energy production" In commenting on the forum Senator Rick Santorum said: "I am excited to have the opportunity to address the Colorado Election Energy Summit. Ensuring our nation's energy security must be among the highest priorities of the next President. Not only do cheap, abundant supplies of energy allow our economic engine to run, but it is critical to our national security. It is time we become energy independent so we don't have to rely on energy from any other country - especially ones that wish to do us harm. I look forward to addressing my vision for an all-of-the-above energy policy that will utilize the vast and diverse resources at our disposal." WHERE: Colorado School of Mines
