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.
What they call for
DemocratsRepublicans16 new members addressed this issue (with these filters). Many call for more than one thing.
Make the U.S. energy independent by producing more at home
15 members“Lower energy costs across New Jersey by investing in clean, reliable, and domestic energy sources, so that families pay less and our communities are more energy resilient.”View on their website ↗
“Invest in Iowa’s clean energy economy, and make America more energy-independent with lower costs”View on their website ↗
“We need a comprehensive, all of the above strategy that creates jobs and increases energy independence while bringing down costs for consumers today.”View on their website ↗
“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 More than two dozen Republican members of Congress asked to protect these credits before they were repealed, threatening nearly 10,000 jobs and shrinking the state’s economy by over $1 billion.”View on their website ↗
“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.”View on their website ↗
“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”View on their website ↗
“Utilities: We have to unleash the American energy enterprise and fast track innovative new sources of energy to bring down utilities costs. Hold large utility companies responsible for price gouging consumers.”View on their website ↗
“Lower energy costs by investing in more affordable energy production”View on their website ↗
“Renewable energy will boost our country’s independence and can help families across the Sixth lower their utility bills and putting more money in your pocket.”View on their website ↗
“Power America’s future with energy produced right here in Colorado with an all-of-the-above approach that includes clean, traditional, and alternative sources”View on their website ↗
“Utah can lead in clean, affordable American-made energy that strengthens our economy and lowers costs for families. I support expanding clean energy, modernizing the electrical grid, and investing in transportation infrastructure that creates jobs and secures our energy future.”View on their website ↗
“The United States can be a leader in the growing domestic energy economy—we should be building energy infrastructure here at home so we don’t have to rely on foreign oil or foreign energy. And we’ll create good-paying energy jobs while we’re at it.”View on their website ↗
“Invest in renewable energy projects and restore the clean energy tax credits to reduce our dependence on foreign energy sources while lowering utility costs. Michigan families are seeing their electricity bills rise while old coal plants are forced to operate and utility executives make a fortune – that’s got to end.”View on their website ↗

“In Congress, JoAnna will support investments in American-made energy, including clean energy, which will save money for ratepayers.”View on their website ↗
“Pappas is also working to establish commonsense ways to increase energy production and lower energy costs.”View on their website ↗
“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.”View on their website ↗
“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.”View on their website ↗
“Chris also voted to invest in domestic energy production and is fighting for tax cuts to help families lower their energy bills.”View on their website ↗
“Chris supports an all-of-the-above energy strategy to meet the needs of Granite Staters, lower costs, and ensure America can become truly energy independent.”View on their website ↗
“In Congress, Chris has also worked to safeguard American interests by bolstering American manufacturing and domestic energy production, which is not just critical for our economic well-being, but also an essential national security priority.”View on their website ↗
“Chris is also working to jumpstart American energy independence and voted for the largest-ever investment in cleaner, cheaper homegrown energy.”View on their website ↗
“Increase local clean energy production: New Hampshire is already home to a number of solar, wind, hydro, and bio fuel companies. We need a lot more. It’s a win-win, creating good paying jobs while simultaneously reducing our dependence on big oil companies and foreign countries.”View on their website ↗
“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.”View on their website ↗
“By making our country climate-friendly, we will lower costs for working families, strengthen our energy independence, and create good-paying jobs.”View on their website ↗
