Energy Bill Needs to Be New Kind of Animal (Rep. Doug Lamborn)

Since the Democrats have controlled Congress, there has been no comprehensive plan to reduce America’s dependency on foreign energy.  Instead, we have seen bills that increase our reliance on foreign energy and if implemented, would drastically increase energy costs for consumers and businesses.  This job-killing energy bill will only result in higher energy costs, cut domestic energy production, increase dependence on foreign energy sources, send thousands of American jobs overseas, and drain the wallets of our families.  We need an energy bill that will encourage domestic energy production and protect American consumers and American jobs.
