Senate Majority Leader Charles E. Schumer came out swinging Wednesday against an energy package from House Republicans, blasting the legislation as a “dead-on-arrival and unserious proposal” for Senate Democrats.

“The package is a wish list for Big Oil, gutting important environmental safeguards on fossil fuel projects, while doing none of the important permitting reforms that would help bring transmission and clean energy products online faster,” the New York Democrat said.

The House Republican package unveiled this week is led by Majority Leader Steve Scalise and centers on increasing domestic energy production by rolling back environmental regulations to fast-track new projects — renewable and fossil fuel alike. The chamber will pass it later this month.
