Lower Energy Costs Act

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. DUNN of Florida. Madam Chair, I rise today to express my support for H.R. 1.

With this bill, the days of America's dependence on imported energy are beginning to come to a close.

Under President Biden, gas prices have skyrocketed, leases for oil and gas have been canceled, and electricity prices have soared.

Thankfully, multiple committees have come together to provide a multilateral solution to these problems.

When H.R. 1 becomes law, it will lower energy costs and unleash American energy, providing clarity for critical infrastructure investors.

It will streamline energy permitting and exports and repeal the new natural gas tax imposed by the Biden administration.

House Republicans are delivering on our promise to reestablish the days of American energy independence.

Importantly, H.R. 1 slashes burdensome regulations that make it difficult and unappealing to build in America.

Eliminating these barriers in conjunction with comprehensive permitting reform will reverse the Biden administration's radical energy policies that destroyed American dominance in the energy space and compromised our national security.

Simply put, H.R. 1 will unleash American innovation and unlock American resources for future generations.

I look forward to voting ``yea'' on H.R. 1, and I encourage my colleagues to do the same.
