| Dear John, Energy is at the heart of everything we do. It powers our lives and fuels progress — but outdated policies are driving up costs and limiting access to the energy families count on every day. When outdated policies make energy production more expensive, who foots the bill? You do. If energy bills are squeezing your budget, you’re not imagining it. Many families are putting the American Dream on hold due to rising energy costs. Imagine having to choose between filling up your gas tank to get to work or setting aside money for your children’s education. These are the tough decisions families face every day. Why is this happening? Policies that block competition, slow down innovation, and limit your choices are directly raising prices — and putting unnecessary strain on your household budget. AFP is fighting for policies that put you — not bureaucrats — in control. During the Biden era, federal regulators limited your choice of stoves, dryers, and water heaters. These regulations restrict your choices and drive up costs — all while families are already feeling the squeeze from inflation. With smarter, pro-innovation reforms, we can lower costs, expand access, and make energy work for everyone. Here’s how we get there: ✅ Streamline permitting so essential energy projects don’t get stuck in red tape.
✅ Revamp our electricity policies to ensure reliability and affordability.
✅ Protect your right to choose the appliances that work best for your family and budget. You shouldn’t have to choose between keeping the lights on and saving for your kids’ future. Let’s work together to fix this broken system and unlock America’s energy potential. 👉 Sign the Energy Reform Pledge now to demand lower costs and real freedom for families. |
