NEW: CCC ANNOUNCES NEW CHAIR Today, the Conservative Climate Caucus announced Representative Mariannette Miller-Meeks, M.D. (IA-01) as the new Chair.

The U.S. is entering a nuclear renaissance. Advanced reactors are moving from concept to construction, retired plants are being restarted and our nuclear infrastructure is being rebuilt. In today's hearing, @RepMMM discussed how Congress has a narrow window to support innovation and ensure the United States continues to lead in the advancement of nuclear technologies.

Appreciate @epaleezeldin’s leadership on strong RVOs that are driving real growth for Iowa agriculture and biofuels. I asked about next steps and timelines to keep that momentum going and ensure our farmers and producers have the certainty they need to invest, grow, and lead in American energy.

Rural Electric Cooperatives are on the front lines of grid security. @RepMMM's legislation would ensure that our local utilities have the tools and resources they need to protect the power that supports Americans homes and businesses by reauthorizing the Rural and Municipal Utility Advanced Cybersecurity (RMUC) Grant and Technical Assistance Program.

Securing America’s power grid means preparing for every threat—foreign adversaries, cyberattacks, physical sabotage, and ideologically driven extremism. Our security, economy, and way of life all depend on a grid that’s resilient, modern, and untouchable. We can’t afford to fall behind.

Wonderful meeting with Growth Energy to discuss the need to pass year-round E15. We also talked about the Consumer and Fuel Retailer Choice Act, which would lower gas costs for Iowans, reduce emissions, and prevent fuel supply disruptions.

The question isn’t whether America needs nuclear energy, it’s how fast we can build it. China and Russia are racing ahead. If we want to lead the world, we cannot afford to fall behind in AI, and securing our energy future is critical.

I paid just $2.25/gallon at the pump this week—in Iowa, prices have been even better than the national average. Gas is down to $2.95 nationwide, the lowest in 5 years. Our state average sits at $2.55. Lower energy costs mean lower prices for families, farmers, and small businesses.

Under Democrat leadership, the average gallon of gas nationwide reached $4.88. Under @POTUS and @HouseGOP, gas prices are under $3 a gallon, the lowest in 4.5 years. The difference in leadership couldn't be clearer.

Thank you to @RepYoungKim for meeting with our critical minerals fly-in participants to discuss the important role of innovation in strengthening America's domestic minerals supply chain.

$2.36 a gallon in Milo this morning!

Great hosting @SecretaryWright for a visit to the Ames National Laboratory, one of 17 national labs across the country. The lab leads research in energy materials, critical minerals, and the upscaling of plastics, work that is vital as the U.S. reduces reliance on foreign sources, including the CCP. Expanding mining, processing, and manufacturing at home strengthens our national security, advances energy dominance, and creates new entrepreneurial small business spin-offs.

Thanks to @POTUS, the EU is set to buy over $150 BILLION in U.S. energy. No one produces cleaner, more reliable energy than America, and we’re powering the free world again. 🇺🇸 foxnews.com/politics/trump-a…

Gas in Iowa hit almost $5/gal under Joe Biden. Just 6 months into @POTUS 2.0, it’s under $3 in Iowa, and even cheaper elsewhere. That’s what happens when you unleash American energy. 🇺🇸

President Trump promised to restore American energy dominance, and the One Big Beautiful Bill Act does just that. It reopens oil and gas leasing, advances nuclear energy, unlocks critical mineral development, cuts burdensome regulations, lowers utility costs for Iowa families, and powers the nation with affordable, reliable American energy.

As Vice Chair of the @climate_caucus, it was an honor to speak at @CRESenergy's Energy Leadership Summit about all-of-the-above, pro-growth energy policies to address our nation's pressing energy challenges.

Proud to work with @POTUS to deliver summer E15 for Iowa—lower costs, stronger biofuels, and a big win for American energy. Summer waivers are a start, and in Congress, I’ll keep fighting to make E15 available year-round.

It's time to embrace American energy dominance and create high paying jobs. In my latest op-ed in @thehill, I call for unleashing all forms of energy that would secure America's future. Read more👇 thehill.com/opinion/5261543-…

As Vice Chair of the @climate_caucus, I’m committed to protecting Arizona’s natural beauty. This #EarthDay, I joined conservation stakeholders for an @audubonsociety tour of a desert riparian area and discussed critical efforts to safeguard our water for future generations 🌎🌊

.@SecRollins is spot on. Ethanol is key to American energy independence, and Iowa’s leading in its production. Grateful for her and @POTUS’s backing of our farmers, ethanol producers, and the year-round sale of E15.

Big news! I am proud to be joining Chairwoman @RepMMM as the new Vice Chair of the Conservative Climate Caucus. In this new role, I will be able to champion clean energy, innovation, & American energy dominance—all while protecting our environment 🌎🏜️
