Oppose energy policies that raise prices or give foreign adversaries more leverage, and support expanding American energy production to lower energy costs and strengthen energy independence.

Families are already struggling to pay their energy bill, which is why I oppose any policymaking that raises prices for Americans or gives more leverage to our foreign adversaries. I believe wholeheartedly in supporting our American energy producers, fighting for our energy independence, and working on realistic energy solutions that put our people first. The best way to bring down sky-high energy prices is by unleashing American energy production—not punishing American energy producers. That’s why I am proud to fight to keep energy prices low for the American people.

On his Senate energy issue page, Scott commits to opposing policies that increase energy prices or aid foreign adversaries, while supporting American energy producers and expanded domestic production to lower prices and improve energy independence.
