That’s why H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, which unleashes our vast energy supply to meet the needs of Americans, was a leading priority for House Republicans this Congress.
So, why is H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, so important? The war on American energy production began on Joe Biden’s first day as President and has caused Americans to suffer from record-high energy prices across the board. Lowering energy costs is a leading priority because energy is the foundation of everything in American life—when the cost of energy goes up, everything else does too. When Biden took office just over two years ago, the national average for a gallon of gas was $2.39.
H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, will take bold action to unleash our nation’s energy potential by reversing the President’s anti-American energy policies, cutting excessive bureaucratic red tape, helping to lower global carbon emissions with cleaner American liquefied natural gas , and increasing domestic production to lower costs.
Energy security is national security, and Americans should never have to rely on our adversaries to supply our energy needs. The United States has incredible energy potential with vast reserves of oil, natural gas, and other critical minerals essential for energy dominance. H.R. 1 will allow us to unleash our potential to provide clean, reliable, and affordable energy here at home and to our freedom-loving allies worldwide.
