Energy Independence in the United States; SCR 1603
SCR 1603 urges the President of the United States to:
●Reject unscientific environmental mandates that restrict domestic energy
production and raise costs for American families;
●Consider current geopolitical tensions and support policies that ensure America’s
long-term energy affordability, security, leadership, and progress, including
actions to increase investment in domestic refineries and natural gas production;
●Expand domestic energy production and ensure energy reliability and
affordability for consumers by cutting through the red tape purposefully
hampering the building of energy infrastructure, especially pipelines;
●Reevaluate energy policies that have curtailed domestic production of oil and
natural gas; and
●Utilize our nation’s abundant natural resources and relationships with energy-
producing allies as leverage against a Russian regime that is intent on disrupting
world peace and threatening global stability.
The resolution requires the Secretary of State to send enrolled copies of the resolution to
President Biden and to specified legislators.
