"Based on House Republican leadership rhetoric, you would think they would share many of the same goals for American Energy as my Democratic colleagues, like lower energy bills for American families, growth and support of a robust manufacturing sector, American energy independence, and out-competing China. Yet, with this 2024 Energy and Water funding bill, House Republicans raise costs on American households, undermine growth and modernization of our energy infrastructure, weaken our national security, and would yield leading the world's energy future to China. Instead of introducing bills built on untenable cuts that will harm hardworking families, we should be working together to create funding bills that follow the current law of the bipartisan debt agreement."
