Rouzer Action Report: Energy and Gas Prices

Washington, DC, January 5, 2022

The Rouzer Action Report is an update regarding action I’ve taken on some of the most pressing issues facing our country.  This is not a comprehensive listing of all actions, but a few highlights that I thought you would find meaningful.  If this resource is helpful to you, please consider recommending it to a friend.  If someone forwarded this resource to you and you would like to continue receiving updates, you can sign up for this newsletter here.

Energy and Gas Prices

I support an “all of the above” approach to energy production and usage in this country.  I am committed to doing everything in my power to increase domestic production so we can decrease energy prices for all Americans.  That’s why I’m a member of the House Energy Action Team (HEAT). 

Every natural resource we have should be on the table.  North Carolina has the potential to be a major player and leader in off-shore wind development placed miles off the coast, which would provide a great opportunity to put in place a revenue-sharing program that will ensure our infrastructure needs can be met — that means roads, bridges, water, sewer, nourished beaches, and clear and clean rivers, inlets and waterways.
