…Regarding H.R. 1, or the Lower Energy Costs Act, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-Louisiana) told reporters at a recent press conference that it is "really important to families all across America who are struggling under the weight of President Biden's anti-American energy policies that have dramatically increased costs on families." "Families right now are paying about 40% more at the pump when they fill up their cars; they're paying dramatically higher – double-digit increases higher – for their household electricity bills," he said. "Families are fed up, and Republicans are fed up with these failed policies by President Biden. If passed, the Lower Energy Costs Act will, among other things: Promote energy infrastructure and pipelines across international borders. Repeal all restrictions on the import and export of natural gas. Require the Interior Department to immediately resume quarterly lease sales on federal lands. End the existing moratorium on new coal leasing. Expedite the approval process for gathering lines on federal lands that capture or transport oil, natural gas, or related materials. Prevent the Interior Secretary from stopping or slowing leasing and permitting activities on federal lands and waters that are open to energy and mineral development. Incentivize domestic production by rolling back burdensome fees on oil and gas development from the "Inflation Reduction Act." Senator John Kennedy (R-Louisiana) has introduced the Senate companion to H.R. 1 "Energy production is the key to America's national security and economic success," Kennedy asserts. "Louisiana has always served our country by helping bring affordable, sustainable energy to market, and this bill would remove the burdensome, bureaucratic handcuffs that have been hurting the industry and millions of Americans."… Read more news: https://afn.net/politics-govt/2023/03/28/gop-following-through-with-commitment-to-america/ This an interesting news report about a pending GOP bill and what it does.

It will be interesting to watch the democrat party response to a bill that puts America and Americans first.
Wild. Promote energy infrastructure and pipelines across international borders. Repeal all restrictions on the import and export of natural gas. Require the Interior Department to immediately resume quarterly lease sales on federal lands. End the existing moratorium on new coal leasing. Expedite the approval process for gathering lines on federal lands that capture or transport oil, natural gas, or related materials. Prevent the Interior Secretary from stopping or slowing leasing and permitting activities on federal lands and waters that are open to energy and mineral development. Incentivize domestic production by rolling back burdensome fees on oil and gas development from the "Inflation Reduction Act." An odd list of what appears to be socialist and globalist proposals
Now that is funny. Looks like a list of **** MAGA wants to give to their overlords. No, not the overlord, the other, big oil. Free handouts to global corporations for all!
It is fascinating to see so called conservatives crave this much socialism when it comes to big oil. LOL
Hey bro, A republican proposes subsidizing multinational corporations with free handouts from the US. Now that is MAGACapitalism.
Listen bruh, according to MAGA, our oil should be only used in Merica! Maybe the GOP can sell new red hats that say MASI! Make America Socialist Immediately!
Treating corporations equally and not selectively punishing some because they are not popular with some is neither socialism nor subsidizing them.
“making the Biden administration want to do more to produce more home-grown energy and to make America more self-reliant on our own energy needs," Kerrigan tells AFN. She does not think it prudent for the U.S. to depend upon energy that comes from "unstable regimes, that comes from dictators, and also energy that happens to be developed in a non-environmentally friendly way." So from an economic perspective and from a national security perspective, Kerrigan says lowering the cost of energy and doing more to be self-reliant in energy is "very much needed at this point in time."”
Ahhh, yet another thread started by someone who doesn’t understand energy policy, nor how the oil industry works, or how gas prices are set. JFC I weep for this country.
Can you see the irony that lies deeply intertwined in this post? Regardless, a corporate subsidy to highly profitable corps is government corruption through kickbacks to said politicos.
It won't pass the senate. It's another pretend bill passed by the Republican house that will never become law.
