RESOLUTION
Expressing the sense of the House of Representatives that the United
States should support the safe and responsible development of its
energy resources via drilling, in an effort to maintain a robust energy
supply chain which promotes national security, safeguards against
energy scarcity, and reduces energy poverty for all Americans.
Whereas it is in the national security interests of the United States to
maintain a strong domestic energy supply;
Whereas the timely delivery of affordable energy domestically and
internationally requires an advanced and robust domestic energy supply;
Whereas energy workers and businesses require clear and supportive Federal
policy to adequately maintain and develop the domestic energy supply
chain to meet growing energy needs;
Whereas recent technological advances in energy resource exploration, drilling,
completion, and production have led to unprecedented levels of
efficiency and emissions reductions; and
Whereas increased production and use of American natural gas have helped the
United States reduce its greenhouse gas emissions: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That it is the sense of the House of Representatives that
the United States should support the safe and responsible development
of its energy resources via drilling, including by--
(1) repealing administrative precedent that limits the
exploration, drilling, and production of domestic natural
resources on Federal lands, both onshore and offshore;
(2) clearly defining the relationship drilling has to
future production and delivery of energy resources; and
(3) incentivizing workforce development in the domestic
energy industry of the United States.
