Yes, and deregulate the energy sector to let the free market determine the best energy sources

The Republican party strongly supports deregulation and free-market principles, including in the energy sector. They believe that the market should determine the best energy sources and that government intervention stifles innovation and economic growth. This position is consistent with their support for expanding offshore oil drilling and reducing regulations on the energy industry.

Strongly agree

Yes

The Republican party has historically supported expanding offshore oil drilling to increase domestic energy production and reduce dependence on foreign oil. For example, in 2008, then-President George W. Bush lifted a ban on offshore drilling, and the Trump administration proposed expanding offshore drilling in 2018. However, some Republicans from coastal states have opposed expansion due to environmental concerns.
