Scott Perry supports a blended energy portfolio that includes the development of clean energy technologies and using our vast energy resources – to reduce our dependence on foreign energy, turn around the economy, create jobs, reduce inflation, make energy more affordable, and preserve our environment.
Will support a blended energy portfolio that develops clean energy technologies and uses domestic energy resources to reduce foreign dependence and lower costs.

Evidence
The House member’s energy issue page says he has advocated legislation to encourage hydropower development, described as the largest source of clean, renewable energy in the United States, and says this creates jobs and provides low-cost power. The page reflects an ongoing public position in favor of clean energy development alongside affordable domestic energy.
Perry’s official vote record shows a yea vote on H.R. 5587, the Harnessing Energy At Thermal Sources Act of 2026, and a yea resolution recognizing rural communities as major suppliers of U.S. energy resources and drivers of national economic stability. Those are concrete pro-energy actions, but they are narrower than the full campaign promise about a blended portfolio, domestic resources, and lower costs.
Assessments
Perry has taken same-term actions consistent with parts of the promise, including public advocacy for hydropower and votes supporting domestic energy development. However, the evidence shows narrower support and legislative activity rather than a delivered federal outcome establishing a broad blended energy portfolio that develops clean technologies, expands domestic resources, reduces foreign dependence, and lowers costs. Because he made concrete efforts but the full promised outcome is not shown as achieved, this merits partial credit rather than full delivery.
