Domestic energy production

How much energy the country produces at home rather than buying from other countries, and what government does to raise or limit domestic production.

Make the U.S. energy independent by producing more at home

Harriet Hageman
Senate · Wyoming · Republican
“America could be and should be energy independent. That is a fact. The reality is that America has no reason to rely upon hostile countries to supply us with oil and gas.”

Adam Hamilton

“We need a comprehensive, all of the above strategy that creates jobs and increases energy independence while bringing down costs for consumers today.”

“Stop the war on domestic energy projects and restore energy production tax credits that increase our energy independence and create good-paying jobs. Adam supports all of the above energy production and believes Kansans should decide what happens on their land. More than two dozen Republican members of Congress asked to protect these credits before they were repealed, threatening nearly 10,000 jobs and shrinking the state’s economy by over $1 billion.”

Troy Jackson
Senate · Maine · Democrat
“The offshore wind energy project will not only create quality, good-paying jobs but play a critical role in Maine’s path towards energy independence. But as I’ve said from the beginning, this cannot and should not come at the expense of Maine’s lobster industry.”

“Maine is in the midst of an energy crisis and the key to meaningful energy relief is in our own backyard. By unlocking the affordable, homegrown renewable energy just waiting to be generated in Aroostook County, we can lower energy costs for working families, strengthen our energy independence and create good-paying jobs in rural Maine”

“We need to be spurring more energy development, we need more power on our grid here in New England and across the country, but [Republicans’] energy strategy has been to put all the eggs in the basket of fossil fuels, and we’ve seen through this war in Iran how disastrous that can be.”

“So we need to pursue true energy independence and develop more homegrown, clean sources of energy. We’re beginning to do that as a result of the Inflation Reduction Act, tax credits for businesses to install rooftop solar, tax credits for homes to install heat pumps and be more energy efficient and lower bills, and so that absolutely should be a priority.”

James Talarico
Senate · Texas · Democrat
“If we invest in innovation, we can add to our hundreds of thousands of oil, gas, wind, solar, and battery jobs by creating new jobs in cutting-edge technologies like geothermal and hydrogen-fueled energy. We can pioneer innovative ways to streamline permitting processes without compromising the protection of our environment — so that Texas can lead in increasing energy supply and driving down costs.”
