BILL HERRINGTON.
Speaker on American Energy, Economic, and National Security and the Environment
The Russian invasion of Ukraine is a wake-up call to America: We need a balanced and comprehensive energy plan to safeguard our national security, the economy, and the environment.
The obsessive, all-in stance in favor of renewables has rendered Europe's economy and national security vulnerable to Russian President Vladimir Putin, one of the world's most vicious leaders. And America is in danger of making the same catastrophic energy mistake as Europe.
Award-winning author Bill Herrington delivers the truth about U.S. energy, national security, and the environment – and exposes the misrepresentations of fossil fuels protestors and climate change activists.
Based on forty years of experience in the energy industry, he gives “a personal and sober assessment of the energy situation in America" rooted in historical accounts, newspaper articles, government documents, investigations, images, and personal experiences:
o The critical role of oil and gas pipelines in WWII
o An objective examination of energy options and activism today
o A realistic 5-point energy policy for the future of the United States.

Speaker Bio
Bill Herrington was heading to his downtown Houston office in 2016 when he came upon a demonstration against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
It was personal for Bill. Forty years earlier, he was introduced on a summer pipeline job to the American-made industry. He saw the pipeline construction business from the inside out, and it left an indelible respect for pipeliners and the necessity of the industry.
From that humble start, Bill graduated from Louisiana State University and began a 35-year career in corporate banking, focusing on the energy service industry in south Louisiana and Texas. He completed the Harvard Business School general manager program and became a private equity and private credit investor based in Houston, Texas. He also authored the award-winning memoir, Contraflow.
But Bill never forgot his work as a common laborer on a pipeline forty years earlier. He was confused by the depiction of the industry as evil. The protest led Bill to reexamine his understanding of the industry and America.
His award-winning U.S. energy book, The Green Real Deal, explains the role of oil and gas pipelines in WWII, examines energy options today, and proposes a balanced five-point energy plan moving forward.
