Zinke | Z000018 | zinke.house.gov | zinke | https://zinke.house.gov/media/press-releases | scraper | (WASHINGTON, D.C.) - Today, Western Montana Congressman Ryan Zinke voted in support of H.R. 1 – the Lower Energy Costs Act. This legislation was the top priority for House Republicans in the 118th Congress. The Lowering Energy Costs Act focuses on spurring responsible development of domestic energy and mineral resources, eliminating burdensome permitting requirements, creating jobs, and securing our supply chains and energy infrastructure. This is an integral piece of legislation to Rep. Zinke’s work on energy and climate solutions that reverse the damage done by President Biden’s agenda from day one to shut down our energy production and make us reliant on China. “A little over two years ago, America wasn’t just energy independent - America was energy dominant. We gave Biden a blueprint for a clean, safe, efficient, and inexpensive energy policy and economy that benefitted from it. He threw it in the garbage and Montanans have paid for it though high electricity bills and price gouges at the fuel pump since,” Zinke said. “H.R. 1 puts logic back into energy policy. We shouldn’t be fist-bumping over oil deals with war criminals, Chinese Communists or terrorists when we have what we need under our boots.” BACKGROUND: January 2021 – Biden revokes the Keystone XL pipeline permit January 2021 – Biden blocks federal oil and gas leases January 2022 – Biden revokes Alaska NPRA lease sale February 2022 – Biden begs Saudis for oil March 2022 – Biden releases first batch of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve June 2022 – Gas prices hit an all-time national high average at $5 per gallon June 2022 – Gas prices in Montana hit an all-time average high at $4.97 per gallon of gasoline - $5.91 for diesel | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T23:30:02Z |
