Kinzinger votes for all-of-the-above energy package that would create jobs, lower energy costs | 2013-11-21 | 2013 | 2013-11 | Republican | House | IL | Adam Kinzinger | K000378 | kinzinger.house.gov | legacy | Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-Channahon) this week voted in support of a set of bills that would expand US energy exploration, lower energy costs on businesses and families, and help revitalize our manufacturing base share: f t Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-Channahon) this week voted in support of a set of bills that would expand US energy exploration, lower energy costs on businesses and families, and help revitalize our manufacturing base. The legislation represents an all-of-the-above approach by taking advantage of all America's energy resources something Rep. Kinzinger has pushed for since first being elected to Congress - to create jobs and enhance American energy security. Families and businesses that I talk to are demanding an energy strategy that lowers costs at the pump and leads to new jobs for the middle class, and that's exactly what this legislation does, said Kinzinger. These commonsense jobs bills will provide our economy a much-needed boost, and I hope the Senate and the President will act on them to create the good-paying jobs that Americans deserve. On Wednesday, the House passed the Federal Lands Jobs and Energy Security Act (H.R. 1965), a bill that reduces administrative red-tape and opens up more American lands for energy exploration. Reports released by the non-partisan Congressional Research Service show that while oil and natural gas production on private and state lands have increased, production on federal lands have dropped by 14% since 2009. The House also passed the Protecting States' Rights to Promote American Energy Security Act (H.R. 2728) to prevent the Obama Administration from imposing duplicative and costly regulations on hydraulic fracturing in states that already have fracturing regulations in place. New drilling and hydraulic fracturing technology have led to a natural gas boom in the United States, creating jobs and lowering energy costs across the country. However, new regulations proposed by the Administration in May would add an additional level of red-tape on producers and are estimated to cost $345 million annually. Lastly, on Thursday, the House approved the Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act (H.R. 1900), a bill that ensures review processes for new interstate natural gas pipelines are completed in a timely manner by limiting the review to twelve months. As a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, Rep. Kinzinger has been a strong advocate for a national energy approach that incorporates all forms of energy production, including renewables and non-renewables. He has held energy roundtables and visited energy producing facilities across the energy-rich Sixteenth District to highlight the success of this approach and take this model back to Washington. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
