GOP unveils sweeping energy package to lower costs and prioritize party's goals.

House Republicans have introduced a 200-page energy package aimed at boosting fossil fuels and mining while limiting environmental reviews for infrastructure projects. The bill seeks to bolster fossil fuel production, including making it easier to import and export natural gas, requiring more offshore oil and gas lease sales to be held, and taking power away from states to reject pipelines and gas export facilities that could impact their waterways. The legislation also contains provisions aimed at speeding up the approval process for infrastructure projects, known as permitting reform. The bill is highly partisan and unlikely to pass through a divided Congress.
