"#DontGo Is About Way More Than Drilling"

While Democrats are flying off on a five-week vacation without allowing a vote on domestic drilling, members the House GOP are staying behind to offer a comprehensive solution that puts everything on the table.

Wind power alone wonÂ’t solve the problem. Solar alone wonÂ’t solve the problem. Nuclear plants, increased efficiency and natural gas alone wonÂ’t do it either. Not even domestic drilling by itself is enough to end the energy crisis. However, if we act on everything option our disposal, we can make a difference over the short, intermediate and long term to lower energy prices and ease pains at the pump.

The American Energy Act takes this ‘all of the above’ solution and puts it into legislation. The bill will help increase efficiency, encourage wind, hydrogen and solar power development, and open up American petroleum resources and expand American nuclear power production.

While Republicans are willing to put everything on the table, Democrats are unwilling to consider domestic drilling and expanded nuclear power, [therefore] sending more money to foreign sheikhs and preventing new jobs in American energy production from being developed. This is about way more than domestic drilling. This is about creating a real plan that holds nothing back in the pursuit of affordable American energy.
