Frost: boosting domestic production of oil and gas, reducing trade barriers

Former Congressman Martin Frost, on behalf of Council for a Secure America, says the ongoing energy crisis in Europe is a cautionary tale for the U.S.

“There’s been an effort to increase alternative energy sources like wind and solar. Those are important for us in the long term, but we can’t switch to alternative energy overnight. In fact, there’s a long transition period and we’re going to continue to need oil and gas for domestic purposes as well as for our national defense,” he says.
