Perry's promise was a negative commitment not to support costly new energy regulations. The supplied federal House record shows conduct in the same congressional term consistent with that pledge: he voted for anti-carbon-tax and pro-energy-production measures, supported bills framed as limiting restrictive energy policy, and introduced H.R. 1562 to repeal renewable and alternative energy tax credits. No contrary evidence is provided showing he supported the type of costly new energy regulations he pledged to oppose.
