CEI President and CEO Kent Lassman said the survey illustrated that “When Americans unexpectedly pay more for gas and utilities because of events like electric grid failures and attacks on our pipelines and with the summer driving season ready to start next week, it is little wonder few voters clamor for costly new regulations.”
He emphasized that “There is a lesson here if politicians are willing to listen. Americans recognize that the moment demands policies that lower regulatory barriers to foster economic resilience and to allow the space for an enduring recovery.”
