Republican Energy Plan (Rep. Joe Barton)

May 30th, 2008

Republicans last week introduced legislation for American-made energy for American jobs and the American economy. These bills touch every portion of the energy sector, and whatever it takes to get them to the House floor, we’re for, because we want energy prices down. Taken comprehensively, these bills would be a solution to America’s energy problem and I’m happy to say that all the energy would be made in America.

I am personally tired of standing around, wringing my hands and watching each day’s increase in a barrel of oil on the spot market and subsequent increase in the price of gasoline at the pump. This is actual policy, not more of the feel-goodism that the House has engaged in over the past two weeks.
