America faces significant challenges in securing its energy independence. Despite partisan divisions, the scientific community, industry leaders, and policymakers have shared goals to ensure Americans have access to affordable, reliable, and clean sources of energy.
That’s why we formed the Congressional Energy Export Caucus — to implement a pro-energy trade agenda to promote all-of-the-above American energy solutions.
Sound energy policy can stabilize the global energy market, strengthen our economy, and bolster American national security. Getting the right energy policy for America is more important than political differences. As the United States lessens its energy production and exports, OPEC+ willingly meets the global energy demand. This weakens our influence in a world where Europe and our allies are trying to become less dependent on bad actors, like Russia and China, amidst serious global conflicts and rising tensions between democracies and autocracies.
There is an energy vacuum, and our adversaries are filling it while the United States watches from the sidelines. Talk is not enough. We need tangible action from both sides of the aisle.

Our bipartisan caucus is focused on strengthening U.S. leadership on global trade and advancing our energy interests to put us at a competitive advantage over our competitors. Through diplomacy and the prioritization of new trade policies, we can build international consensus to support free markets, transparency, and anti-corruption measures on the global stage.
The Congressional Energy Export Caucus has four priorities: U.S. energy security, trade competitiveness, economic growth, and investment in the future of the United States.
We are focused on implementing new technologies and practices to build our energy exporting capabilities and to shepherd in the next generation of safe, clean, and reliable energy sources. Carbon capture utilization, permitting reform, and advanced energy technology development will preserve and protect traditional energy while supporting the next generation of renewable energy innovations.
The four of us are ready to roll up our sleeves and cut through the partisan noise to put our constituents and our country’s energy security first. We will make the United States a global energy leader— bolstering our national security, strengthening our economy, and restoring our energy independence.
