WASHINGTON—Congressman Ron Estes (R-KS), Congressman Mike Thompson (D-CA), along with Senator Chris Coons (D-DE) and Senator Jerry Moran (R-KS) introduced the Financing Our Future Energy Act today.

Estes. “As a supporter of an all-of-the-above energy strategy for our country, I’m proud to sponsor this bill that will extend vital resources to renewable energy initiatives, creating jobs and contributing to our nation’s dominance in energy production and innovation.
