Rep. John McGuire Votes In Favor of the Protecting American Energy Production Act

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Representative John McGuire (VA-05), today voted in favor of H.R. 26, the Protecting American Energy Production Act, legislation that would prohibit any moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing.

“It’s time to unleash American energy,” said Rep. John McGuire. “I voted for Congressman August Pfluger’s Protecting American Energy Production Act. We should make money on energy, not rely on our foreign adversaries. This bill is another step in upending the Biden Administration’s reliance on foreign nations and ensures we support America first and supply American energy to our allies.”

The Protecting American Energy Production Act would:

• Prevent the Executive branch from declaring a moratorium on the use of hydraulic fracturing without the advice and consent of Congress.
   
• Ensure American energy independence.
   
• Protect states’ rights regarding hydraulic fracturing.
   
• Defend private landowners and their ability to use their land how they see fit.
