Occurrences

Grassley has repeatedly called for Biden to reverse his energy policies that blunted America’s energy independence secured under the Trump administration and restore construction of the XL Pipeline, drill on public lands and off the North slope of Alaska, make E15 year-round permanent, and more. Grassley has made it clear we must return to energy independence.

Grassley commits to policies intended to restore energy independence, including Keystone XL, expanded drilling, and permanent year-round E15.

Evidence

"A vote for E15 is a vote for lower gas prices." Grassley said he was on the Senate floor to push for "Senate passage of year-round, nationwide E15" and that it would "unleash America's domestic energy dominance."

Recent official remarks show Grassley actively pressing for permanent E15 and framing it as part of domestic energy independence, but not actual enactment yet.

The bill summary says it would "approve[] the TransCanada Keystone Pipeline" and "promote the leasing of federal land for oil and natural gas production" while reversing Biden-era energy policies.

Official bill text shows Grassley backed legislation matching the broader promise, including Keystone XL and expanded fossil-fuel development on federal land, but the measure was only introduced and not enacted.

Assessments

Grassley has actively supported the promised energy agenda in federal office, including backing legislation to approve Keystone XL, expand oil and gas leasing on federal lands, reverse Biden-era energy policies, and repeatedly pressing for permanent nationwide year-round E15. However, the full promised outcome has not been delivered: Keystone XL construction has not resumed, permanent year-round E15 had not been enacted as of the latest evidence, and broader drilling/public-lands reversals are at most partly attributable to administration actions rather than completed Grassley-led legislation. This warrants partial credit for active support and material legislative advocacy, not full delivery.
