These bills streamline the permitting process for critical cross-border energy projects, restore expert advisory input from the coal industry that the Biden-Harris Administration eliminated, and ensure that electricity grid operators have the tools they need to secure the reliability of the bulk power system. With rising energy demand and growing threats to grid reliability, House Republicans are ensuring the U.S. has the tools to deliver affordable, abundant, and reliable energy,\u201d said Energy and Commerce Committee Chairman Guthrie. \u201cThank you to Congresswoman Fedorchak, Congressman Rulli, and Congressman Balderson for their tireless work to strengthen our grid and power our communities.\u201d\n\n\u201cModernizing the cross-border permitting process will unleash North American energy,\u201d said Western Caucus Chairman LaMalfa. \u201cBy standardizing the permitting process for the import and export of oil, natural gas and electricity transmission, H.R. 3062 will strengthen trade in the more than $1 trillion North American energy market. These reforms will also protect energy projects from interference, such as President Biden\u2019s cancellation of the Keystone XL pipeline. I appreciate Representative Fedorchak for leading this legislation to increase access to affordable and reliable energy for American families and boost rural economies.\u201d\n\nUnder current law, the permitting process for cross-border oil, gas, and electricity projects involves a mix of presidential permits, agency-specific procedures, and executive discretion, which has led to regulatory uncertainty, project delays, and in some cases, permit revocations\u2014such as the Keystone XL pipeline.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-06T19:10:29Z"]], "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://fedorchak.house.gov/media/press-releases/fedorchak-bill-streamline-cross-border-energy-projects-passes-us-house"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.5760780554264784, "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"}
