“Sky-high energy prices are crushing families and small businesses. We need to end the left’s war on American energy and restore U.S. energy independence. I support more domestic drilling (responsibly), streamlined permitting and an all-of-the-above strategy to keep gas and electricity affordable while cutting off our reliance on foreign adversaries.”

Keep data centers and other big power users from raising household bills

2 members
Mark Lamb
House · AZ-5 · Republican
“Every major project should be evaluated on its actual benefits, costs and long-term consequences: Where will its water come from, and how much will it use during Arizona’s hottest months? How much electricity will it require, and what new infrastructure will be needed? Will the company pay those costs, or will families and small businesses see them shifted onto their utility bills? How many permanent jobs will remain after construction? What tax incentives are being offered, and what will Arizona receive in return? How will nearby neighborhoods be affected by noise, heat, traffic and construction? The standard should be simple: Is this good for Arizona, or does it leave Arizona families carrying the cost?”
