Washington, DC -- Rep. Pat Fallon (TX-04) led a letter yesterday to Energy Secretary Chris Wright requesting a briefing by the Department of Energy on the state of US grid resiliency both from an energy use and national security perspective.

In an exclusive with the Washington Reporter, Rep. Fallon commented:

“The U.S. needs prioritize dependable sources of energy like natural gas, oil, and coal to power our nation and protect our national security.”

“At the same time, the longer we leave our electrical grid vulnerable, the longer we invite cyberattacks from adversaries like China or Russia, risking widespread outages that endanger American lives,” Rep. Fallon continued. “We must ensure we have planned for future threats to our grid to safeguard America’s future.”
