💯 NEW: Restoring American energy production requires permitting reform and more - We can start by passing Lower Energy Costs Act #ampFW via @ybarracesar91 @HouseGOP @WashTimesOpEd @WashTimes ampfw.org/3ZrXNiH

🚨 The permitting process has hamstrung American energy projects for the past two years. One of Biden’s first actions was to kill the Keystone pipeline.

In doing so, he increased the price of energy and weakened U.S. energy production. #ampFW @WashTimes ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

🚨 For the next two yrs, the administration slow-rolled permitting for new oil and gas leases. This has been bad for domestic energy production, undermined American power abroad as Biden was forced to beg Venezuela and OPEC for more to meet demand. #ampFW ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

💯 HR1 Lower Energy Costs Act would change permitting for new energy development, support greater interagency cooperation with regard to natural gas pipelines, streamline permitting, cut red tape that contributed to high prices and weakened America. #ampFW ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

💯 "If Mr. Biden were serious about investments in renewable energy, he would be inclined to support the @HouseGOP energy package, which goes a long way toward cleaning up the permitting process for new energy projects." @ybarracesar91 #ampFW ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

💯 Included in the @HouseGOP energy package is HR 1355, from Reps. @RepWesterman, @RepGarretGraves and @RepPeteStauber. The bill would direct DOI to restart onshore & offshore fossil fuel leasing, streamline process for energy infrastructure. #ampFW ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

🚨 Late last year, the Biden admin quietly opened the permitting process for some new oil and natural gas leases. But earlier this month, Biden announced that he would restrict drilling on a further 16 million acres in Alaska and the Arctic Ocean. #ampFW ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

🚨 "There is still much to be done to restore American energy production to its Trump administration heights, but the Biden White House remains beholden to the unreasonable demands of the environmental left." @ybarracesar91 #ampFW ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

🚨 @RepLarryBucshon’s HR 1068 would refocus federal agencies on strengthening critical mineral supply chains. Democrats tried to impose further burdens on domestic critical mineral production as part of last year’s infrastructure package. #ampFW ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

💯 The U.S. needs to increase both production and exports of natural gas abroad. HR 1130 (@RepBillJohnson, Ohio Republican) would facilitate just that by repealing restrictions on the export and import of liquefied natural gas. #ampFW via @WashTimesOpEd ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

💯 "HR 1 is likely to pass the House despite the @HouseGOP’s slim majority. And Democratic Sens. Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana may end up supporting the bill in the Senate." @ybarracesar91 #ampFW via @WashTimes @WashTimesOpEd ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw

🚨 "Their votes are enough to tip the balance; WV & MT are among the chief producers of reliable fossil fuels. Would Biden see it necessary to veto a bipartisan energy bill? Or will he once again cave to the far left green movement?" @ybarracesar91 #ampFW ampfw.org/3Kfaqcw
