Congressional Delegation to COP29

I was privileged to lead a congressional delegation to the 2024 United Nations Climate Change Conference (most commonly known as COP29) to showcase the innovation and impact of U.S. energy on the global stage. Our message was simple: the United States stands ready to be a leader in energy production. Energy is the foundation of our life. For too long, conservative opinions on the environment have been silenced. The reality is that American energy is the cleanest, most affordable, secure energy on the planet. 

Across the globe, our allies benefit from American energy exports, technological leadership, and environmental stewardship. A rush to embrace a one-size-fits-all “green” agenda has weakened our energy security and made us overly dependent on nations like China, the world’s largest polluter. We cannot allow our energy future to be dictated by those who do not share our values.

With the global demand for energy projected to double by 2050, we cannot afford to lose the production war to China and Russia. American energy producers must have a voice on the international stage, like at COP29. I am proud to have stood up for the Permian Basin along with other energy-producing areas my colleagues represent in Congress. 

People in the United States overwhelmingly supported President Donald Trump’s promise to restore America’s energy dominance and lead the world in energy expansion. I look forward to working with the White House to unleash American energy in the Permian Basin.
