The 11 Republican members on the U.S. Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee provided President Joe Biden with a 10-step plan to regain America’s energy dominance on the world market.
“It is no secret that we have been opposed to the approach you have taken towards American energy production,” wrote U.S. Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY), ranking member of the committee, who led his colleagues in sending a March 2 letter to Biden. “Mr. President, America is the world’s energy superpower. It is time we started acting like it again.”
Among the members who also signed the letter were U.S. Sens. Steve Daines (R-MT), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), John Hoeven (R-ND), and Bill Cassidy (R-LA).
The lawmakers noted that United States policy should be to make Europe less reliant on Russian energy, not more. “American energy should be part of that diversification effort, but your administration has made that ever more difficult,” they wrote.
The senators listed 10 things that Biden and Congress can do to help “spur greater American energy production, blunt Russia’s and China’s energy-fueled geopolitical ambitions, and restore America’s dominant role in global energy:”
“We believe it is in America’s national interest… that you work like the moderate president you claim to be, reach across the aisle, and pursue with us the sensible and critical steps outlined above,” wrote the lawmakers.
