Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act. Upon passage, Rep. Glenn “GT” Thompson (PA-15), Chairman of the House Committee on Agriculture, issued the following statement:
“With today’s passage of the Lower Energy Costs Act, House Republicans have delivered on our commitment to American energy independence. Since day one of this Administration, our energy resources have been shackled, pipeline construction has ceased, and new oil and gas leases on federal lands became nonexistent. President Biden’s war on clean, American energy production undoubtedly crippled the U.S. economy—leaving farmers, ranchers, producers, and consumers to pay the ultimate price. As I said earlier this week, a vote for H.R. 1 is a vote for food security."
