WASHINGTON, D.C. - Congresswoman Carol Miller (R-WV) and Congressman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) joined a federal energy policy roundtable in Huntington, West Virginia, hosted by Americans for Prosperity (AFP) to discuss the passage of the Lower Energy Costs Act (H.R. 1). The roundtable discussion focused on policies that highlight the importance of American energy independence and stop the Biden Administration’s war on energy.
“The United States produces energy cleaner, safer, and more efficiently than anywhere else in the world,” said Congresswoman Miller. “We should be empowering American energy production instead of buying oil and gas from our adversaries. When we increase domestic energy production, costs for Americans go down. The House Republican majority knows energy security is national security, and we will continue to hold the Biden Administration and Senate Democrats accountable for their anti-American energy policies.”
“I am grateful to join Rep. Carol Miller and Americans for Prosperity policy fellow Marc Marie for an important discussion with energy industry and community leaders today in Huntington on unleashing American energy independence by passing H.R. 1, The Lower Energy Costs Act. This bill would bolster American energy production and reduce our reliance on adversaries by making commonsense reforms to our nation’s outdated permitting laws. The reforms in H.R. 1 are critical to economic growth all across our country, including southern Ohio,” said Congressman Wenstrup.
“I firmly believe that we need to make America the best place to do big things, and permitting reform is an important step towards unlocking abundance for our nation. It will lead to us building more homes, more factories, and more infrastructure, producing more critical minerals, energy, and pharmaceutical ingredients, and ultimately making us a more prosperous nation.”
