The proposal outlined by the president today would increase compliance costs and jeopardize Nebraskans\u2019 access to affordable, reliable electricity. Moreover, it is unclear what \u2013 if any \u2013 discernible impact the president\u2019s plan would have on decreasing global greenhouse gas emissions.\r\n\u201cInstead of promoting a regulatory regime that decreases access to energy and increases consumer prices, the president and Congress should focus on ways to finally move toward the promised \u2018all of the above\u2019 energy\u00a0strategy. It is my expectation \u2013 and the expectation of Nebraskans \u2013 that the president will work with \u2013 not around \u2013 members of Congress on bipartisan solutions that lower energy prices for Americans and bring us closer to realizing true energy independence.\u201d", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "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": ["http://www.fischer.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news?ID=e8696407-f62c-4a0f-b907-36709dc72934"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.804889015853405, "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"}
