AK HJR28

Urges the President and Congress not to adopt policies, rules, or administrative actions that would restrict energy exploration, development, and production in federal and state waters around Alaska, the outer continental shelf within 200 miles of shore, and elsewhere in the continental United States.

Urges the President and Congress to encourage and promote continued responsible exploration, development, and production of domestic oil and gas resources.

States that responsible development of domestic energy resources will generate thousands of jobs, result in billions of dollars in investment and tax revenue, reduce oil imports, and support the U.S. economy.

Acknowledges that alternative energy resources (wind, solar, hydro, geothermal) hold potential for future energy demands but are currently incapable of meeting domestic energy needs.

Directs copies of the resolution to be sent to the President, Vice President, congressional leaders, the Secretary of the Interior, and all members of the 111th Congress.
