   Oil and gas industry leaders voice 'unbelievable' worries about the   
   election and America's 'business killer'   
   The presidential candidate who increases oil production will also lower   
   everyday prices, inflation, experts tell Fox News Digital

   US energy, oil and gas experts reveal how everyday prices and inflation   
   will come down   
   This time of year across the Allegheny National Forest in Northwest   
   Pennsylvania, the white pine, maple, chestnut and black cherry trees   
   scattered within the tall, hilly landscape turn deeper colors of orange   
   and yellow.   
      
   To an unassuming eye, visitors of the forest may never know that   
   numerous oil and gas wells are quietly and continually pumping out the   
   resource. But the smaller companies who call this place home, like   
   Cameron Energy, are worried the 2024 presidential election has put their   
   livelihoods on the line.   
      
   "Some nights it's hard to fall asleep," lawyer-turned-Cameron Energy   
   founder Arthur Stewart told Fox News Digital. "We have 55 employees. The   
   pressures of worrying about the paycheck every two weeks are enormous.   
   We're suffering with inflation just like everybody else, and it's a   
   business killer. There's just no other way to say it. And so the worries   
   we have about this election are unbelievable."   
      
   "We work hard so that everybody around us can have an affordable, modern   
   life-supporting energy that's domestically produced and safely,"   
   Cameron’s environmental care coordinator Tyler Martin also said.   
      
   WHAT DOES HARRIS' ‘NON-ANSWER’ ON FRACKING PROVE? ENERGY EXPERT GOES   
   INTO DETAIL   
      
   "We have the cleanest streams in our area. In the United States, within   
   our borders, we can produce energy cleaner than they can in other   
   countries. And if you're an environmentalist, that should be important,"   
   Martin continued. "We should produce it here."   
      
   Trump versus Harris energy policy   
   Fox News Digital spoke with Cameron Energy's Arthur Stewart, Tyler   
   Martin and IWF's Gabriella Hoffman, who compared and contrasted Trump's   
   and Harris' respective energy platforms. (Fox News)   
      
   Cameron Energy’s founder, spokesperson and an independent policy analyst   
   compared and contrasted former President Donald Trump’s and Vice   
   President Kamala Harris’ respective energy platforms as detailed on   
   their campaign websites, and urged domestic oil production as the answer   
   to getting U.S. prices down.   
      
   Democratic nominee Harris has proposed an "opportunity economy." On her   
   campaign website under the "Issues" tab, the economy is seemingly her   
   top priority, but any oil and gas-related policies are found in the   
   tenth and last subsection.   
      
   She will reportedly "tackle the climate crisis as she builds on this   
   historic work, advance environmental justice, protect public lands and   
   public health, increase resilience to climate disasters, lower household   
   energy costs, create millions of new jobs, and continue to hold   
   polluters accountable to secure clean air and water for all."   
      
   "I still believe that what Kamala Harris said when she was running for   
   president in 2019, that she wants to ban all fracking, is the real   
   Kamala Harris… You want to know what a real climate crisis would be? If   
   there wasn't energy to run air conditioners in Arizona, if there wasn't   
   natural gas to heat homes in Maine or Massachusetts or Pennsylvania or   
   in our hospitals, anywhere. A real crisis would be if you couldn't make   
   the plastics for hospitals. And I don't think that her policy

   Cameron’s biggest customer is a Pennsylvania-based refining company that   
   converts oil into high-quality wax, plastics and lubricants used   
   primarily for hospital, cosmetic and food packaging products.   
      
   "It looks like another soundbite of word salad to me. Sounds like   
   there's a lot of feel-good terms in there for her base, [but] doesn't   
   really speak to any solutions," Martin said. "We're not out here to   
   pollute. We're not out here to do something wrong for people. We're just   
   out here to make a living, to make our way and to provide affordable   
   energy for all Americans."   
      
   "She's going to double down from what she and President Biden are   
   currently doing, pivoting to a net-zero energy direction," Independent   
   Women’s Forum Center for Energy and Conservation director Gabriella   
   Hoffman also told Fox Digital.   
      
   Hoffman spotlighted data from the Department of Energy that estimates a   
   9% increase in electricity demand by 2028, and a more recent report that   
   61 existing or recently retired domestic nuclear facilities can be   
   brought back online to boost clean energy supply.   
      
   "[Nuclear] uses the least amount of land," she said. "But you don't see   
   that rhetoric in that language deployed there… for the [Harris-Walz]   
   administration to say we're going to continue our work with the   
   [Inflation Reduction Act], we're going to continue our work with   
   boosting and supercharging unreliable, intermittent solar and wind, it   
   doesn't leave energy experts and energy-conscious folks with a lot of   
   confidence."

   On Trump’s campaign website, within his publicly listed platform   
   stances, his first priority is to "defeat inflation and quickly bring   
   down all prices." The first step to that, his campaign writes, is to   
   unleash American energy by "lifting restrictions on American energy   
   production, terminating the Socialist Green New Deal, unleashing energy
