House Republicans gathered on the steps of the Capitol Wednesday afternoon to unveil the American Energy Act – H.R. 6566. This landmark legislation is an “all of the above” energy bill that will help reduce gas prices by harnessing new technologies, encouraging greater conservation and efficiency, and increasing American energy production in an environmentally-safe manner. Republicans are demanding Democrats stop playing political games and allow an up-or-down vote on the American Energy Act.

Join Congressman Joe Barton for a town hall meeting as he shares a legislative update and listens to the issues that matter to you. Please feel free to attend the meeting closest to your home, even if it is not in your county.

AUSTIN – With gas prices still hovering above four dollars per gallon and no relief in sight, Congressman Michael McCaul (R-TX 10) took an economically responsible step toward giving Texas families relief by sponsoring the American Energy Act. The bill will increase the supply of American-made energy, improve conservation and efficiency, and promote renewable and alternative energy technologies. It is consistent with Rep. McCaul’s “all of the above” approach to becoming energy independent and bringing down gas prices.
