House Republicans prioritize energy package to tackle gas prices and boost American energy.

House Republicans are set to pass a bill that would increase domestic production of oil, natural gas, and coal, ease permitting restrictions, and boost production of critical minerals. The bill seeks to undo President Joe Biden's climate change agenda and has been labeled the "Lower Energy Costs Act." Democrats criticize the bill as a giveaway to big oil companies and a thinly disguised effort to reward energy producers that have contributed millions of dollars to GOP campaigns. Biden has threatened to veto the bill if it reaches his desk, and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer called it "dead on arrival" in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
