Let's Do The Time Warp Agaaaaain With GQP's "Commitment To America" On Energy Policy

EDIT

According to a campaign-style website unveiled Thursday, House Republicans will stress the need for American energy independence to help lower gasoline prices. Under the Biden administration, they’ll argue, gas prices have risen by 60 percent and that the Trump and Obama administrations each approved 10 times as many federal energy leases.

The GOP says it will seek to “maximize the production of reliable, American-made energy” and cut in half the permitting time for energy projects. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.), the ranking member on Energy and Commerce who would chair the panel if the GOP gains the House, has outlined similar ideas for an “American energy dominance agenda” (E&E Daily, Sept. 14)

The campaign proposal offers no specifics on how domestic production would be expanded or what regulatory changes would be coming. Nor does the proposal mention curbing carbon emissions or cutting climate change. Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), an Energy and Commerce Republican who helped shape the plan, said a GOP-controlled House will promote natural gas as a “big transition fuel that’s helped us get to cleaner air quality and reduce our CO2 emissions.”

Gingrich met with the GOP conference Thursday on how to roll the plan out. His advice for having the idea break through with voters? “Talk about it over and over again to the point that you can’t stand it,” he said.

a weak copy of Gingrich's Contract with America from the '90s.

It's a nothing but a list of wish-list bromides when all the repubs do if they gain the House is impeach Joe Biden over and over and hold hearings on Hunter Biden over and over.
