Our country is in the midst of a recession, with unemployment nearing ten percent, and this decision is keeping 1.2 million Americans from new, well-paying jobs and the $70 billion in additional wages each year that are estimated to result from new energy exploration. Their refusal to move forward with expanding American energy production and reducing our dependence on foreign oil also prevents the federal government from receiving over $2.2 trillion in total tax receipts - revenue that would go a long way towards repaying the $1.8 trillion deficit run up for bailouts and stimulus spending.
Unfortunately, after all of these decisions, the Obama Administration's campaign against oil, gas and nuclear jobs hasn't gotten much national press coverage. Instead, Americans read about President Obama's efforts to create new green jobs. I appreciate and support efforts to create more green jobs - but the truth is that the federal government should make it easier for unemployed Americans to find all kinds of energy jobs - including nuclear jobs, offshore drilling jobs, green jobs and manufacturing jobs. When unemployed moms and dads across our country are trying to put food on the table for their families, they don't have the luxury of waiting for the most politically correct form of employment.
I believe there is a better path forward for our country that will help more Americans get back to work, reduce carbon emissions, protect the environment and make the United States more energy independent.
I support an all-of-the-above energy plan that responsibly uses our natural resources to create new energy and make our environment cleaner. In June I cosponsored the American Energy Act to encourage development of alternative energy sources, such as wind, solar, hydropower, nuclear and biomass, while also producing more American-made oil and natural gas.
As President Obama and Democrats in Congress consider how to prevent double digit unemployment, they should finally admit that a cap and trade national energy tax will only hurt struggling families further, and support an all-of-the-above energy plan that encourages the creation of all types of American energy jobs.
