AI Summary
This bill, the Reserving Energy For Independence and Empowerment (REFINE) Act, aims to address the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) levels and domestic energy production. It requires the Secretary of Energy to conduct studies on metrics for determining SPR adequacy, refining capacity, and ways to accelerate SPR replenishment. The bill also prohibits exporting SPR-drawn petroleum products to certain countries and entities, including China. Additionally, it requires the Secretary to develop a plan to increase federal land leased for oil and gas production before executing SPR drawdowns, except in severe energy supply interruptions. Furthermore, the bill directs the President to rescind an executive order and instructs federal agencies to identify and repeal regulations that reduce U.S. energy independence, while issuing new regulations to reduce the regulatory burden and increase energy output from domestic producers.
