“All of the Above” Energy Solutions

Welcome to my energy solutions page.  With gas prices at record levels, and no signs of relief on the way, it is critical for Congress to move forward with a common sense “all of the above” solution - including development and expansion of American-made energy, greater conservation, and increased use of alternative and renewable energy sources- to meet our nations growing energy needs and to put America on a path to energy security. 

Enough is enough.  I understand the impact that high gas prices have on your everyday life and the longer we wait to pass an “all of the above” energy plan, the longer Oklahoma families and businesses will continue struggling to pay record energy prices.  I hope you will find this page useful in learning what I am doing in Congress to increase production of American-made energy, lower our dependence on foreign sources of oil and decrease energy prices for consumers.
