ConservAmerica welcomes the introduction of a broad energy package from Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee Chairman Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) and Ranking Member Joe Manchin (D-WV) as the most significant step toward modernizing America’s energy policy in over a decade.
The American Energy Innovation Act (AEIA) would update the nation’s energy policies to ensure it continues to lead the world in the development of advanced energy technology, including energy storage and carbon capture and storage that is crucial to reducing carbon emissions while maintaining America’s competitiveness.
“Sen. Murkowski has consistently been a strong advocate for the kind of commonsense policies we need to address our environmental and energy challenges while maintaining economic growth,” said Jeff Kupfer, ConservAmerica president. “This bill is a very good bipartisan opportunity to ensure that America stays a global energy leader. We look forward to working with members to make it happen.”
ConservAmerica also thanks Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) for making an energy bill a priority on the Senate floor. AEIA represents the type of achievable, bipartisan package that can become law, which is the only measure of success that counts at the end of the day.
