WASHINGTON — Speaker Johnson issued the following statement after House Republicans passed three pieces of legislation this week to support President Trump and Republicans’ promise to unleash American energy dominance.
“Republicans are delivering on our promise to strengthen the grid, create American jobs, and lower energy costs for American families. This week, House Republicans passed three pieces of key legislation to build on the energy provisions within the historic Working Families Tax Cuts and codify President Trump’s Executive Orders to unleash American energy. As Democrats continue to push radical, job-killing, impossible-to-attain green agendas – Republicans are focused on real solutions that grow the economy and put American workers first. Together with President Trump, Republicans in Congress are helping pave the way for a return to American energy dominance.”
House Adopted Legislation to Help Unleash American Energy Dominance:
H.R. 1047 – The Grid Reliability and Infrastructure Deployment (GRID) Power Act (Sponsored by Rep. Troy Balderson): Expands access to reliable and affordable electricity by expediting interconnection requests for dispatchable energy resources and help stabilize the bulk power system.
H.R. 3015 – National Coal Council Reestablishment Act (Sponsored by Rep. Michael Rulli): Reestablishes the National Coal Council to support coal as a vital source of baseload energy power and to preserve energy jobs across the country.
H.R. 3062 – Promoting Cross-Border Energy Infrastructure Act (Sponsored by Rep. Julie Fedorchak): Streamlines the permitting process for cross-border energy infrastructure projects to strengthen American energy security and reduce regulatory delays.
