The House GOP American Energy Solutions Group was formed in order for Republicans to fashion efficient energy policies and lower prices for American families. As the Democrats attempt to pass controversial climate change legislation that will raise energy taxes on all Americans, Republicans are committed to offering an affordable alternative. House Republican Leader John Boehner chose House Republican Chairman Mike Pence as the group's chair.

“High energy costs continue to hit the pocketbooks of American families and small businesses,” said Boehner.  “As gasoline prices skyrocketed to record levels last summer, Republicans consistently advocated an all-of-the-above strategy to create up to one million new jobs in the United States by increasing American energy production, encouraging greater efficiency and conservation, and promoting the use of alternative fuels.”

The following is a list of all those chosen for the energy group:
