Washington, D.C. – Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) released the following statement today following the release of the Energy Advisory Board Natural Gas Subcommittee’s 90-day interim report:
“Energy independence is a national security issue, which can only be achieved through an all of the above approach of domestic production. This 90-day report presents several recommendations, and I see this as an important step forward that will make domestic energy safer and more abundant.
“Shale gas production has the potential to both lower costs for consumers in every day purchases, but also create jobs. I will continue my work in Congress to expand shale gas production by reducing regulatory hurdles while simultaneously increasing safety for not just those involved in production, but for all Americans. Increasing transparency of shale production is a much needed step, however we must not place overly burdensome regulations on business that will only serve to dissuade production. I look forward to policy that protects Americans and puts them to work.”
