It’s time to make energy more affordable!
<[link removed]>
Hello John,
I just wrapped up our 11th and final stop on the “Road to Prosperity” tour in
Utah. We visited KODA Resources, the state’s largest natural gas producer and a
major force behind the Western power grid.
Here’s what we saw: We spent the day touring multiple drilling sites with KODA
President and CEO Osman Apaydin, an accomplished petroleum engineer who walked
us step-by-step through the entire drilling process.
* Standing on the rig, we saw the real-time technology that powers modern
production — from precision drilling controls to data systems tracking every
second of activity.
* We learned that a single drill bit costs nearly $60,000 and that running a
rig costs about $100,000 per day. And with wells taking just four to five days
to complete, the scale, efficiency, and private-sector investment behind
America’s energy supply are remarkable.
But Osman also made something crystal clear: Their biggest challenge isn’t
technology — it’s permitting uncertainty caused by Washington red tape. When
companies don’t know if or when permits will be approved, it becomes harder to
attract investment, increase supply, and keep energy affordable for families
and businesses.
That’s why last week’s vote by the U.S. House Committee on Natural Resources
to advance the SPEED Act is such an important milestone— and a major step
toward lowering your energy prices.
The SPEED Act streamlines permitting by setting clear timelines, restoring the
National Environmental Policy Act to its original purpose, cutting duplicative
reviews, and reining in activist litigation that delays projects for years.
It also empowers states and tribes, strengthens energy security, and brings
predictability to the very companies working to power America.
👉 Tell Washington to cut the red tape and pass the SPEED Act now. Add your
name to the permitting reform petition today.

The Road to Prosperity tour may be over, but we’re far from done. We’ll keep
speaking up until Washington gets out of the way and Americans have affordable,
reliable energy.
Stay tuned for more updates in the coming weeks. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thanks for standing with us,
