AI Summary

This bill, the American Energy Independence from Russia Act, aims to strengthen U.S. energy security and encourage domestic production of crude oil, petroleum products, and natural gas. Key provisions include: 1. Requiring the President to develop a biennial energy security plan that evaluates U.S. energy imports and exports, assesses energy security risks, and provides strategies to increase domestic energy production to offset imports from Russia. 2. Authorizing the construction of the Keystone XL pipeline to import oil from Canada without requiring a new presidential permit. 3. Expanding the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission's authority to approve or deny applications for natural gas export and import facilities. 4. Prohibiting the President from implementing actions that would substantially delay or prohibit new leases, permits, or authorizations for oil, gas, coal, or critical mineral development on federal lands, unless authorized by Congress. 5. Requiring the Department of the Interior to immediately resume and conduct regular onshore and offshore oil and gas lease sales. 6. Requiring the development of a plan to increase the percentage of federal lands leased for oil and gas production before the Strategic Petroleum Reserve can be drawn down, subject to a 10% limitation. The overall aim of the bill is to bolster U.S. domestic energy production and reduce reliance on energy imports, particularly from Russia, in the interest of national energy security.
