Washington, D.C. - Congresswoman Elise Stefanik made a statement regarding the recent Energy Week in the U.S. House of Representatives, where she expressed her support for various energy bills aimed at promoting American energy dominance and challenging what she referred to as "Joe Biden's war on American energy."

Stefanik highlighted the efforts of House Republicans in passing legislation focused on bolstering American energy production and reducing energy costs for citizens. She emphasized the commitment of House Republicans to combatting what they perceive as harmful energy policies under the Biden administration. Stefanik stated, “House Republicans delivered for the American people this week by passing legislation to unleash American energy dominance, lower energy costs for hardworking Americans, and end Joe Biden’s unprecedented war on American energy.”

Among the key bills that were passed during Energy Week were measures such as H.R. 1023, the Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act, which aimed to repeal the EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, and H.R. 1121, the Protecting American Energy Production Act, which sought to prevent unilateral bans on hydraulic fracturing.

Stefanik also referenced H.R. 6009, the Restoring American Energy Dominance Act, which focused on withdrawing proposed rules to facilitate American energy dominance, and H.R. 7023, the Creating Confidence in Clean Water Permitting Act, which aimed to streamline permitting processes under the Clean Water Act.

The Congresswoman reiterated the dedication of House Republicans to restoring American energy dominance and ensuring affordable energy prices for citizens. Stefanik asserted, “House Republicans will never stop fighting to restore American energy dominance and bring down energy prices for Americans across the country.”
