After decades of globalism, America is finally remembering the value of self-reliance. We want to see this country make things again rather than relying on foreign adversaries. This is especially true when it comes to energy production. If we are going to stand on our own two feet as a nation, we need to unleash America’s energy potential. Our own Senator James Lankford (R-OK) is leading the effort in D.C., through the Promoting Domestic Energy Production Act, which helps do just that.
Senator Lankford’s bill restores fairness for independent oil and gas producers. Doing so will be critical for securing American energy dominance, as they are responsible for the overwhelming majority of our total domestic output. If we want to open up energy production in the United States, we need to do everything we can to help these independent producers.
