Evidence
“Supporting an all-of-the-above energy strategy that includes natural gas, nuclear, and renewables, because energy independence requires reliable baseload power, not just weather-dependent sources that leave families in the dark”
“We should be embracing an all-of-the-above energy approach — expanding natural gas infrastructure, investing in nuclear power, and responsibly developing renewables — instead of shackling ourselves to policies that punish ratepayers and jeopardize our energy security,”
“I’m calling for the rebuilding and reopening of Indian Point Energy Center and for an all-of-the-above energy strategy. That means supporting nuclear energy, approving critical infrastructure like natural gas pipelines, and ensuring communities like Buchanan are not left behind…”
“This legislation protects investments, creates jobs, and ensures NY-17 can power its future with reliable, affordable energy” and “build the all-of-the-above energy future America needs for security, economic growth, and affordability.”
The bill was introduced to deliver direct economic relief to communities burdened by stranded nuclear waste and the loss of local nuclear power plants.
Assessments
Lawler promised to support an all-of-the-above energy strategy including natural gas, nuclear, and renewables. The evidence shows he repeated that position while in office, specifically naming those energy sources, and took related legislative/executive-style actions such as co-leading tech-neutral permitting legislation and introducing nuclear-related relief legislation. Because the promise was framed as support rather than enactment of a specific law or measurable policy outcome, these public positions and legislative actions satisfy the commitment during the same term.
