Turner: The President's Disdain For American Energy Knows No Limits

Washington, D.C. - In response to President Joe Biden's threat to veto H.R. 1 (Lower Energy Costs Act), Daniel Turner, Founder and Executive Director for Power The Future, issued the following statement:

"For all the Beltway chatter about his purported triangulation heading into his re-election, Joe Biden is starting the second half of his term in an identical fashion to the first: utter and complete capitulation to the extreme environmental left that funded his campaign and runs his administration. The new House Republican majority deserves great credit for the Lower Energy Costs Act, which represent a roadmap to the energy independence Biden so foolishly squandered. Reliable, affordable and domestic energy has powered America's greatness for generations, and it's incumbent on all elected representatives, Republican and Democrat, to advocate for the industry and its workers."

Introduced March 9, H.R. 1 represents the House Republicans commitment to restoring energy dependence by fixing permitting, promoting new refineries and increasing mining. The 175-page measure combines individual bills reported out of the House Energy and Commerce, Natural Resources and Transportation and Infrastructure committees.
