Unlocking America's Energy Potential: Rep. Gabe Evans

### Rethinking Energy Policies for a Modern Era

Amidst growing concerns about energy sustainability, GOP Rep. Gabe Evans believes the path forward lies in embracing pro-energy policies. He highlights the dire need for increased energy production to support modern technologies and the importance of recognizing the environmental benefits of responsible energy generation.

### The Climate Impact of Green Mandates

Evans argues that current green energy policies in Colorado, such as the electrification of oil and gas drill rigs, may inadvertently increase the carbon footprint. "Follow the science," he urges, emphasizing that the carbon footprint of electricity generation in Colorado is significantly higher than that of natural gas.

### Empowering Energy Producers

Rep. Evans emphasizes the critical role of collaboration between the government and the private sector. He sees the upcoming appointments of Republican secretaries at the Department of Energy, Department of the Interior, and Environmental Protection Agency as an opportunity for a comprehensive approach to energy solutions.

### Prioritizing American Jobs

The Congressman believes that responsible energy production not only benefits the environment but also creates good-paying jobs. "Getting the good jobs that come from that industry" is essential, he says, to address the current affordability crisis and provide economic opportunities for Americans.

### Call to Action

Evans concludes by urging a united effort among all stakeholders, including the House, Senate, presidency, and the private sector, to implement comprehensive energy solutions. By working together, he believes we can "empower energy producers, protect our environment, and provide the good paying jobs that are so critical" to America's future.
