Coming from an oil and gas family, Dan Crenshaw understands the importance of this vital industry to the United States. That’s why Dan has fought to protect American energy independence against attacks from radical environmentalists who want to abolish fossil fuels.
As a member of the powerful Energy and Commerce Committee in the House of Representatives, Dan has introduced legislation to protect America’s refineries, stop the endless delay of energy projects, and ensure America is keeping pace with oil production.
Dan introduced the
Keeping America’s Refineries Act to ensure the EPA does not open up petroleum refiners to needless lawsuits for using a widely used chemical in the refining process.
As the Biden Administration continues to indefinitely delay the approval of energy projects, Dan introduced the
Primacy Certainty Act to give states a reliable timeline for the approval of carbon capture projects, which are intended to store carbon dioxide in geological wells.
To address the Biden Administration’s refusal to keep pace with approving lease sales for oil production, Dan introduced the
Conservation Funding Protection Act. This bill requires the Department of the Interior to hold at least two region-wide oil and gas lease sales per year in the Gulf of Mexico. The bill is called the Conservation Funding Protection Act because the revenue generated from these sales often goes to funding key environmental conservation projects.
