I'm proud to co-sponsor this legislation that reverses this radical, job-crushing unilateral action, and instead stands up for American jobs and energy security.

We can get smarter energy policy, surely than we have today. We had it under President Trump. Joe Biden shut off a lot of our ability to produce oil, natural gas, other things that now make us reliant on OPEC nations, on Russia, on Venezuela. No reason for that.

Scalise called for smarter energy policy that would expand domestic oil and natural gas production and reduce reliance on foreign energy sources.

Evidence

Scalise’s current biography says he is fighting to enact a national energy strategy that increases American energy supply through enhanced production and technological innovation to lower prices and reduce dependence on foreign oil.

Official current biography shows the promise remains an active stated goal, not a completed policy result.

In an April 9, 2026 press release, Scalise emphasized Louisiana’s role in unleashing American energy and said the U.S. can produce its own energy through smart American energy policy.

Recent official remarks show continued advocacy for domestic energy production, but they do not show enactment of a national energy strategy.

The official press releases page shows a June 2, 2026 entry titled "Fox News: GOP urges SCOTUS to reject 'war on American energy' they say would hit families' wallets," summarizing that House Majority Leader Steve Scalise and House Republicans urged the Supreme Court to side with ExxonMobil and Suncor Energy in a climate lawsuit because it could drive up energy costs, threaten domestic energy production, and give local activists outsized influence over national energy policy.

Recent official House messaging shows Scalise still publicly advancing an American-energy argument, but it is advocacy in litigation coverage rather than enactment of a national energy strategy.

Scalise's official biography says he is fighting to enact a national energy strategy that increases American supply through production and technological innovation, lowers pump prices, and reduces dependence on foreign oil.

The official biography closely matches the promise language and shows it remains an active stated goal rather than a completed result.

Congress.gov lists Steve Scalise as sponsor of H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act. The bill was introduced March 14, 2023, passed the House on March 30, 2023 by 225-204, and had the status Passed House. The CRS summary describes provisions on American energy production, exports, infrastructure, critical minerals, and DOE strategies for energy-security supply chains.

Scalise introduced a broad energy bill aligned with the promise, and it advanced through the House, but Congress.gov does not show enactment into law.

Congress.gov shows H.R. 1 became Public Law 119-21 on July 4, 2025. Its CRS summary includes Title V, Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, with oil and gas leasing, Strategic Petroleum Reserve funding, changes to fossil-fuel project financing, critical-minerals provisions, and a subchapter titled Enhancement of America-First Energy Policy.

A federal law enacted in Scalise's later service contains energy-production and energy-security provisions, but it is a reconciliation law, not clearly a comprehensive national energy strategy attributable to Scalise alone.

Executive Order 14154 states U.S. policy to encourage energy exploration and production on federal lands and waters, strengthen mineral supply chains, protect national security through abundant reliable energy, promote consumer choice and innovation, review agency actions that burden domestic energy resources, and restart LNG export reviews.

The executive order is evidence that the federal government adopted a national pro-production energy policy in 2025, but it does not by itself establish Scalise's personal delivery of the promise.

Assessments

unresolved unknown A for effort

Scalise's official 2026 biography still says he is fighting to enact a national energy strategy, and his 2026 press releases continue to promote higher domestic energy production and reduced reliance on foreign energy. That supports real ongoing advocacy and some leadership effort, but it does not show that a national energy strategy was actually enacted or otherwise delivered at the federal level as of June 22, 2026. Because he remains in office and the promise is still being pursued rather than clearly completed or definitively failed, the strongest adjudication is unresolved.

Scalise materially pursued the promise: he introduced and led H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, which aimed to increase domestic energy production, expand exports and infrastructure, speed permitting, and reduce reliance on foreign energy and minerals. The bill passed the House in March 2023, but the available record does not show enactment into federal law or implementation of a national energy strategy delivering the promised outcome. Because this was a serious federal legislative attempt that fell short of final delivery, the correct outcome is never with an effort badge.
