Ending Biden’s energy crisis
Home energy costs are skyrocketing, and the Biden Administration is doing nothing to stop it. In fact, they are making it worse by crippling our energy infrastructure. That’s why my fellow House Republicans and I passed H.R. 1, the Lowering Energy Cost Act. This bill takes steps towards making energy costs more affordable for American families and, because there is an energy cost for everything we use or consume, it will help lower the cost of living. For example, it will reduce the burdensome permitting process to build energy infrastructure, like pipelines. Also, it will enable our nation to become energy independent again.
Additionally, this includes my bill H.R. 1023, the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund Repeal. This provision defunds the $27 billion climate ‘slush fund’ that was created to have no oversight or accountability. In addition, the bill included an amendment I offered that would prohibit the Department of Energy from imposing new rules that will eventually ban natural gas range tops and other household use of natural gas. I applaud the work of my colleagues on both the Energy & Commerce Committee, the Natural Resources Committee and the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee for putting together this comprehensive American energy bill. I call on the Senate to take it up immediately.
