"President Trump is bulldozing Biden-era barriers to fully unleash America's energy potential": RSC's Rep. August Pfluger on energy agenda
Rep. August Pfluger (R., Texas), the chairman of the conservative Republican Study Committee (RSC) is taking the House GOP’s defense of President Donald Trump’s energy independence agenda to the airwaves, praising the administration for “bulldozing Biden-era barriers to fully unleash America's energy potential.”
Pfluger joined Sunday Morning Futures, where he noted that “What President Trump is now doing is cutting that red tape, he's cutting the bureaucracy, he's making it easier. You're going to see lease sales both onshore and offshore.”
Under Pfluger’s leadership, the RSC and its House Energy Action Team (HEAT) team have backed Trump up on energy policy from the legislative branch.
The RSC’s HEAT team also praised Trump’s energy policy this week in the aftermath of Trump’s executive order that would revitalize America’s coal production. Reps. Troy Balderson (R., Ohio), Randy Weber (R., Texas), and Harriet Hageman (R., Wyo.), who are all on the HEAT team, jointly thanked Trump for “not just keeping the lights on [but for] fueling a manufacturing renaissance that will create thousands of jobs in energy communities devastated by the previous administration's reckless policies.”
