Help Bring Down Energy Costs
Help Expand HSAs
Act Quickly!
America’s energy needs have never been greater. But higher demand means higher prices. We need to find ways to help energy companies meet the growing demands of businesses and consumers for affordable energy.
Frustrating that effort are outdated government rules that cause endless delays in approving new projects. There are more than 650 energy infrastructure projects stuck in permitting purgatory—pipelines, grid modernization, transmission lines, and broadband. In fact, it often takes longer for government to approve a project than it does to build it.
This unnecessary red tape slows us down while other nations race ahead – and they keep energy prices higher than they should be. Congress needs to make permitting reform a top priority to reduce energy costs, and it can begin by passing the SPEED Act (H.R. 4776). The bureaucratic delays have to stop.
