Republican Pennsylvania Rep. Fred Keller introduced a resolution Tuesday calling for the federal government to boost energy supply via expanded domestic drilling.
Keller’s resolution, which 20 other GOP lawmakers backed, said the U.S. must repeal federal precedent limiting exploration, drilling and production of fossil fuels on federal lands and waters, according to a copy of the document obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation. The Republicans also expressed support for increased domestic oil and gas drilling and argued the U.S. fossil fuel industry plays an important role in strengthening national security.
