  • President Trump's Plan for Pennsylvania
    President Trump’s Jobs Plan for Pennsylvania: All Job Creation is Local A Report by the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy October 21, 2020 Introduction The Obama Administration suppressed clean natural gas production—otherwise known as fracking—increased regulations, slashed the defense budget, failed to renegotiate bad trade deals like NAFTA, and raised taxes. President Trump has pursued just the opposite policies, following an “all job creation is local” approach to stimulating economic growth. Let’s see how this strategy is working for the farmers, frackers, miners, steelworkers, and families of Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania Fracking Helps Drive America’s Strategic Energy Dominance America’s strategic energy dominance boosts American competitiveness while insulating the United States from the strategic blackmail of entities like the OPEC cartel. America’s prolific energy production also provides cheaper prices at the gas pump and lower electricity rates, saving the average family of four $2,500 per year.1 In pursuit of such strategic dominance, President Trump has strongly supported the development of our petroleum industry, including the use of a process known as hydraulic fracturing or fracking. On April 10, 2019, President Trump signed an executive order2 making it easier to build oil and gas pipelines; and under the President’s deregulation leadership, America has emerged as the world’s largest oil and natural gas producer. 34 Under President Trump’s watch, a cumbersome Obama-era rule that placed onerous and unnecessary burdens on fracking was rescinded on December 29, 2017, enabling this industry to push forward, providing both energy and jobs across Pennsylvania and the Marcellus Shale formation.

In 2016 Aker will be celebrating its 175th anniversary. This report is written in association with this celebration. Its main purpose is to highlight important events that have occurred over the past 25 years. What events are considered to be important? How have these events influenced the environment and Aker’s future? This is what we have attempted to answer in our report. We chose a snowball method which means we performed a few preliminary interviews that guided us to our next interview subjects. After analysing the data we collected from our interviews, combined with our literature, we ended up with several interesting findings. Our findings include: - Aker’s part in the development of the oil and gas industry in Norway - The growth of subsea - New ownership in Aker, an event that occurred in 1996-1997 - Fishing industry becomes a part of Aker’s portfolio in 1996 - Aker Maritime and Kvaerner merge and de-merge, this happened in 2002 and 2011 - Aker ASA goes in a new direction from 2009 - An acquisition in Det norske takes place, and Aker Exploration merges with Det norske 2009 - Ocean Yield is established in 2012 ! We have analysed these events and areas of importance, and attempted to establish how they have impacted Aker’s future and its environment.
