Unleashing North American energy resources will provide relief to the pocketbooks of Michigan families while encouraging domestic job creation and securing long-term energy security. Unfortunately, many federal regulations can often inhibit the use of domestic energy and the construction of new infrastructure that is necessary for Michiganders to enjoy affordable energy. Increase Domestic Energy Production The House is working to promote the robust development of American energy, which will spur new jobs and economic growth while firmly putting us on a path to North American energy independence. In January 2015, I supported H.R. 351, the LNG Permitting Certainty and Transparency Act, to jump start production of U.S. natural gas, create jobs in America, and help our allies abroad. I cosponsored H.R. 2369, the Energy Supply and Distribution Act in July 2015 to remove the ban on crude oil exports and strengthen our strategic position, and Congress successfully lifted the ban in December 2015 as part of P.L. 114-113. I also voted in December 2015 in support of H.R. 8, the North American Energy Security and Infrastructure Act, a bill to maximize our nation’s energy potential and modernize our laws for the 21st century. Update our Energy Infrastructure In January 2015, I also voted in support of H.R. 161, the Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act to expedite the federal review process for natural gas pipeline applications approval process for the construction and operation of oil and gas pipelines, bringing greater certainty to the energy market and increasing the flow of North American energy.
