For too long, the President's and Republicans' 'drill only' energy policies have reflected the demands of Big Oil.

The New Direction Congress is crafting a comprehensive energy strategy that will provide relief for consumers, end our dependence on foreign oil, create millions of jobs and grow our economy. The Democratic plan will promote efficiency and invest in renewable sources of energy, responsibly increase domestic supply by opening portions of the Outer Continental Shelf for drilling, with appropriate safeguards, and without taxpayer subsidies to Big Oil, and require Big Oil to pay the billions of dollars they owe in royalties to invest in clean energy resources.
