WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11), a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, penned an op-ed in The Washington Times, blasting the Biden-Harris Administration for their egregious energy policies and outlining the energy wins included in the Working Families Tax Cuts bill that Republicans passed and President Trump signed into law earlier this year.
Read the op-ed, in part, from Rep. Pfluger below:
Energy fuels every aspect of modern life. It powers our homes, fuels our vehicles, and drives our innovation. From the most routine parts of our daily lives to the backbone of our economy, affordable and abundant energy is essential.
As the representative for America’s most prolific oil and gas producing region, I’ve seen firsthand the importance of policies that bolster American energy independence and dominance. Our region’s success is built on the hard work of energy workers, our unique resources, and the companies powering it all. Without these, American energy dominance is not possible. That’s why we must cut red tape, foster a pro-energy economy, and pass commonsense legislation that strengthens our energy future.
In stark contrast to these goals, the Biden-Harris Administration spent four years implementing disastrous energy policies that pandered to woke environmental extremists over the needs of everyday American families and workers. These policies drove up energy prices and led to a weakened electric grid that has jeopardized Americans’ safety and security. Thankfully, with President Donald Trump back in the White House and Republicans in control of Congress, we’ve hit the ground running to reverse these catastrophic energy policies.
The most tangible way we have done this was by passing the Working Families Tax Cut package. This transformational legislation is a massive win for hardworking Texans back home in my state and all across the country.It supports a pro-growth, pro-worker, pro-family, pro-business, and pro-energy economy. It implements President Trump’s energy dominance agenda, serving as yet another example of “promises-made, promises-kept” from this administration and congressional Republicans.
