Issue Position

Fred is leading the way for our nation's energy future through an "all of the above" energy strategy. By focusing on the energy we can develop here at home, we can keep costs low for Michigan families and businesses, create jobs, and reduce our reliance on volatile energy-producing regions. As a leader in Congress, Fred is a champion of the Keystone XL pipeline project, a Canadian energy pipeline that will create countless good-paying jobs in the United States and bring us almost 1 million barrels of oil per day. While the administration has played politics with the issue, Fred is focused on commonsense solutions for our nation's energy future.

He is also on the front lines fighting the EPA's endless regulations on our nation's power plants, which if enacted will send consumer energy bills through the roof, and supporting efforts to improve natural gas pipelines to make energy more affordable.
