Produce more American energy, cut red tape, and lower costs to lower gas prices for Louisiana families.
Occurrences
Evidence
Cassidy said his energy plan aims to produce more American energy, cut permitting delays and unnecessary energy restrictions, and lower costs so Louisiana families pay less at the pump and on energy bills. He said the plan would increase oil and gas production off Louisiana and U.S. coasts, boost imports to Louisiana refineries, and pursue permitting reform to get fuel to market faster.
Cassidy said he met with business and community leaders and noted he had included provisions to expand access to workforce training and require the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management to expand offshore lease sales for oil and gas.
Assessments
Cassidy has made a concrete same-term federal effort by announcing an energy plan and pursuing provisions related to offshore lease sales, permitting, and energy production. However, the evidence shows proposal and advocacy activity, not enacted federal policy attributable to Cassidy that produced more American energy, cut red tape, and lowered gas prices for Louisiana families. Because the promised outcome has not been delivered on the record provided, but there was a serious policy attempt, this is best scored as not delivered with an effort badge.
