Increasing domestic energy production\n\n2. Reforming the permitting process for all industries\n\n3. Reversing anti-energy policies advanced by the Biden Administration\n\n4. Streamlining energy infrastructure and exports\n\n5. Boosting the production and processing of critical minerals\n\nWatch Johnson\u2019s Floor Remarks here and read them below:\n\nJohnson: Mr. Chairman, I spent six years as a state energy regulator and our focus was always on safe, affordable, reliable energy because we knew that that could power American prosperity.\n\nAnd indeed, this abundance of American energy that we've been talking about can be a huge American competitive advantage in an increasingly uncertain world.\n\nUnfortunately, we have made it so difficult to do big projects in this country anymore if you need a strong piece of evidence, look at President Biden\u2019s unilateral canceling of the Keystone XL Pipeline.\n\nBut unfortunately, that is not the only piece of evidence. It takes five to seven years to permit an energy project in this country.\n\nIt is an almost uniquely American problem. It can get done in half the time in countries like Canada and H.R. 1 is a huge step in the right direction.\n\nIt prevents the constant relitigation of projects and reviews that have already been settled and moves the NEPA process into the 21st century by making sure we have an online portal for projects.\n\nIt creates deadlines for NEPA and other environmental reviews.\n\nImagine that, a shot clock, a deadline to make sure that the government's work is done on time.\n\nAnd Mr. Chairman, it unlocks American energy and energy leasing and repeal restrictions on export and import of natural gas.\n\nMr. Chairman, the abundance of American energy is a huge American competitive advantage. H.R. 1 makes that so. And with that, I yield back.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-07T23:30:02Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://dustyjohnson.house.gov/media/press-releases/house-passes-historic-energy-security-americans"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.0627240408211946, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
