AN AMERICAN PETROLEUM INSTITUTE PROJECT

Non-Hydrocarbon: We are a major provider of the green jobs that are in the news today. The oil and natural gas industry accounts for about one out of every six dollars of all the investments made in non-hydrocarbon fuels since 2000. The industry's top investments are in wind and biofuels. Expenditures were also made in solar, geothermal, and landfill digester gas... 31 percent of U.S. oil and natural gas shares are owned by public or private pension plans. Pension funds are major institutional investors, and they manage assets on behalf of nearly 61 million American households, with an average account value of less than $55,000.
