Joe Wilson issues Statement on Energy

Wilson: “To address this challenge we need all options on the table.”


WASHINGTON – Congressman Joe Wilson (SC-02) issued the following statement today after speaking on the floor of the House of Representatives about high energy prices. While House Democrats chose to adjourn yesterday for the week, turn off the lights, the microphones, and the cameras all having failed to pass any energy legislation, House Republicans believe Congress should get to work.

“The American people are sick and tired of Washington’s failure to get to work on the tough issues. My House Republican colleagues and I have made it clear that we are willing to stay and pass an all-of-the-above energy plan. We have crafted a bill that invests in new American energy exploration, alternative and renewable fuel sources, and incentives for conservation. The American people overwhelming support such an approach because they understand that to address this challenge we need all options on the table.”
