Washington, DC – ConservAmerica President Jeff Kupfer released the following statement today following the U.S. House passage of H.R.1, the Lower Energy Costs Act:

“H.R. 1 prioritizes America’s economic and national security interests by embracing policy reforms that would increase the supply of affordable, reliable energy. While we don’t expect the Senate will agree with every provision, it provides a strong starting point for bipartisan compromise. As bureaucracy, and a labyrinth of processes and lawsuits, hinder the development of all sources of energy, we are hopeful that permitting reform will be at the top of the list for negotiations. We look forward to seeing members of both parties and both chambers come together for the good of the American people.”
