In short, these bills provide exactly what America needs: jobs, reliable energy, and real economic growth. It is time to put America back to work and back on track to a strong energy future. Yesterday, the House passed H.R. 1613, the Outer Continental Shelf Transboundary Hydrocarbon Agreements Authorization Act, which allows further oil and natural gas development in the Gulf of Mexico. Additionally, earlier this week, Congressman Pearce voiced strong opposition to the President’s plans to unilaterally implement new regulations that would cost American energy jobs and drive prices still higher. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
