Lower energy costs for all Americans
<[link removed]>
Hello John,
One last policy update before the holidays, and it’s a big one for family
affordability.
Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives passed the SPEED Act with
bipartisan support. It’s a big step toward fixing America’s broken energy
permitting system.
What happened: For decades, outdated red tape and endless lawsuits have
delayed new energy production projects.
The SPEED Act tackles those problems head-on by streamlining environmental
reviews, setting clear timelines for federal agencies, and reducing unnecessary
litigation that slows down energy projects.
Simply put, when new projects can move forward, America reaps huge benefits:
* We are able to produce enough energy to meet rising demand as our
population and economy grow.
* New projects mean new jobs for Americans eager to innovate in the energy
sector.
* Our power grid stays competitive against America’s adversaries.
When America produces more energy at home, families see lower power bills and
lower prices on just about everything they buy.
What happens next (and what you can do): The bill has passed the House, but the
Senate must act before it can reach the president’s desk. AFP is urging
senators totake up the SPEED Act in January 2026, alongside other House-passed
permitting reforms, and send a strong package to President Trump.
That’s where you come in.
Lawmakers need to hear from the people they represent — now.
Adding your name to our letter shows there’s real grassroots momentum behind
permitting reform and that Americans are ready to build again.

permitting reform and keep the momentum going

🔍 Go deeper: Why this vote matters
Earlier this year, we made 11 stops on the “Road to Prosperity” tour.
Everywhere we went, we heard the same message: Americans on the ground know
how to get things doneAND protect the environment.
They’re the builders and problem-solvers who power our communities — living
and working on the land their families have called home for generations.
They don’t need Washington to micromanage their work.
With their livelihoods and legacies at stake, they have far more motivation
than distant bureaucrats to protect the land and do things right.
As Jesse Ramos argues in a recent op-ed, America wasn’t built by government
permission slips, but by hard work, innovation, and personal responsibility.
Here’s the bottom line: Permitting reform is about trusting Americans again —
letting workers work, innovators innovate, and communities thrive while still
protecting what matters.

American prosperity.
