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.
Support reversing Biden administration energy policies and restoring U.S. energy independence, including Keystone XL construction, drilling on public lands and Alaska's North Slope, and permanent year-round E15.
Occurrences
I'm going to keep fighting until we get this bill to the president's desk.
America needs permanent, year-round E15 from sea to shining sea.
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."
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.
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.
