The promise was specifically to introduce legislation, not to enact it. Official evidence shows Barrasso sponsored S.1783, the Combating Global Poverty Through Energy Development Act, introduced on May 15, 2025, and his office described it as eliminating prohibitions at international financial institutions against support for coal, natural gas, oil, and civil nuclear energy. Because he personally introduced legislation matching the promise while serving in office, this counts as full delivery in the same term.

Multiple pieces of evidence demonstrate that Senator Barrasso introduced bills specifically aimed at eliminating prohibitions at international financial institutions opposed to financing traditional energy projects such as coal, natural gas, oil, and civil nuclear energy. The introduction of such legislation fulfills the promise to 'introduce legislation,' regardless of subsequent passage, and all activity was performed during the same Senate term. Related legislative actions further support this effort.
