Washington, DC - Congressman Jeff Fortenberry has introduced a resolution that would prohibit Congress from adjourning until it has approved a comprehensive energy policy. House Resolution 1391 has 67 cosponsors.
“The American people need a bold, new energy vision,” said Fortenberry. “The House must act now and examine the full range of energy options in our portfolio. Increased use of domestic resources in an environmentally responsible way can help promote our energy independence while building a bridge to a more sustainable energy future. We must also fully integrate conservation, new technologies, and a variety of renewable sources such as wind, solar, geothermal, and biofuels into our energy strategy. Congress must continue its work.”
