WASHINGTON – Republicans on the House Energy and Commerce Committee today released energy and climate principles that they believe will allow our country to continue to prosper while moving toward fuel diversity and clean energy.

The principles are the product of the Energy Security and Climate Change Task Force convened by U.S. Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, and headed by U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-Mich. The task force has met for the past four months to hear from experts in the field and to develop upcoming legislation based on these core values.

The principles can be found here.
