Energy and gas prices
The economic well-being of the United States and the livelihood and safety of our citizens is largely dependent on maintaining a strong energy supply. We depend on electricity to light our homes and businesses, natural gas to heat them, and gasoline to operate the cars and trucks that carry us to work and transport our goods.  Unfortunately, Congress continues to put off meaningful reform to our nation’s deeply flawed energy policies.  Congress must act to utilize domestic energy supplies, promote the building of new refineries, cut the number of reformulated fuel blends, and responsibly promote alternative sources of renewable energy for a cleaner environment.
