(WASHINGTON, DC) — Senators John Hoeven, Steve Daines and a group of Republican colleagues have introduced a pair of bills to ‘unleash American energy.’
The bills would also promote America’s energy dominance and support rural communities by supporting oil and gas development by requiring four annual onshore lease sales in top oil and gas producing states, two annual offshore leases sales in the Gulf and six offshore lease sales over ten years in Alaska’s Cook Inlet and removing the two-percent administration fee on federal oil and gas royalty payments to local communities.
Hoeven said the bills would ‘help unlock American energy and encourage global leadership’ to make the United States energy dominant.
