The roundtable discussion focused on policies that highlight the importance of American energy independence and stop the Biden Administration\u2019s war on energy.\n\n\u201cThe United States produces energy cleaner, safer, and more efficiently than anywhere else in the world,\u201d said Congresswoman Miller. \u201cWe should be empowering American energy production instead of buying oil and gas from our adversaries. When we increase domestic energy production, costs for Americans go down. The House Republican majority knows energy security is national security, and we will continue to hold the Biden Administration and Senate Democrats accountable for their anti-American energy policies.\u201d\n\n\u201cI am grateful to join Rep. Carol Miller and Americans for Prosperity policy fellow Marc Marie for an important discussion with energy industry and community leaders today in Huntington on unleashing American energy independence by passing H.R. 1, The Lower Energy Costs Act. This bill would bolster American energy production and reduce our reliance on adversaries by making commonsense reforms to our nation\u2019s outdated permitting laws. The reforms in H.R. 1 are critical to economic growth all across our country, including southern Ohio,\u201d said Congressman Wenstrup. \u201cI firmly believe that we need to make America the best place to do big things, and permitting reform is an important step towards unlocking abundance for our nation. It will lead to us building more homes, more factories, and more infrastructure, producing more critical minerals, energy, and pharmaceutical ingredients, and ultimately making us a more prosperous nation.\u201d\n\nBackground:\n\nAmericans for Prosperity is a political advocacy organization that has coalitions of more than two dozen groups including the Heritage Action, Americans for Tax Reform, Advancing American Freedom, America First Policy Institute, Texas Public Policy Foundation, National Taxpayers Union, and American Energy Alliance.\n\nThe Lower Energy Costs Act will increase domestic energy production, reform the permitting process, reverse anti-energy policies introduced by the Biden Administration, streamline energy infrastructure, and boost the production of critical minerals.", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T00:08:25Z"]], "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://miller.house.gov/media/press-releases/miller-wenstrup-join-americans-prosperity-energy-focused-roundtable"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.5763896517455578, "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"}
