Energy independence is essential to national strength and to household stability. Texas built the backbone of American energy and we can lead the next era as well. We do not need to choose between traditional and emerging sources. We need reliable power at affordable prices and we need to create jobs for the people who keep the grid running.
An all of the above approach makes sense for Texas. Oil and gas remain vital to our economy and to global security. Renewables can reduce costs and add resilience when they are integrated with storage and strong transmission. Next generation nuclear offers steady baseload power without emissions. The common thread is performance. Keep the lights on. Keep prices predictable. Keep jobs in Texas.
Washington should stop stalling domestic production while importing from countries that do not share our values. We can reduce emissions through innovation and efficiency rather than mandates that punish working families. Permitting should be faster for power plants, pipelines, and modern transmission lines that meet safety and environmental standards.
Workforce is the engine of this strategy. Texas schools and training centers can prepare linemen, technicians, welders, and engineers for careers that pay well and build real assets. When Texas leads, America prospers. The people across this district know how to solve hard problems. Give them the green light and they will build the future of energy right here at home.
Transmission upgrades should focus on reliability and on protecting property rights with fair compensation for landowners.
We will support research that helps drillers and refiners cut emissions while increasing output and safety.
Grid hardening and vegetation management reduce outages and protect seniors and small businesses from costly disruptions.
