Cosponsored legislation to promote nuclear energy and reduce burdensome regulations on oil and gas production in the Gulf of America.
Support nuclear energy and reducing burdensome regulations on oil and gas production in the Gulf of America.
Occurrences
Evidence
Cornyn's energy issue page says he supports maximizing America's energy potential, minimizing burdensome government regulations, and lists prior support for nuclear reactor licensing modernization and regulatory relief for Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production.
GovInfo shows Cornyn introduced S. 4520, the LNG Export Security Act, and the bill was read twice and referred to the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee; it would define 'public interest' in the Natural Gas Act to curb future restrictions on LNG exports.
Assessments
Cornyn has publicly and legislatively supported nuclear energy and reduced regulatory burdens for Gulf oil and gas, including introducing S. 4520 to limit future LNG export restrictions. But the available evidence shows advocacy and bill introduction, not enactment or a completed policy result, so this is partial credit rather than full delivery.
