The Lowering Gasoline Prices to Fuel an America that Works Act (H.R. 4889) includes Congressman Scott Tipton’s (R-CO) plan to responsibly develop all of America’s energy resources according to the needs of the American people (H.R. 1394). “As Americans make plans to celebrate our nation’s Independence next week and prepare for summer trips, they’re noticing rising gas prices. Many people are facing gas prices above $3.50 a gallon and some are already paying over $4 a gallon at the pump. These rising fuel costs have a ripple effect across our economy, impacting families, small businesses and seniors on fixed incomes the most. Fortunately, this doesn’t have to be the case,” said Tipton. “Colorado and our Western neighbors are home to vast energy reserves that, if tapped and developed responsibly, could fuel our nation’s economic recovery and ensure the United States remains competitive in the world market. By promoting a common-sense regulatory framework, embracing domestic energy research and all-of-the-above development, and applying environmental and safety standards already on the books rather than adding costly new mandates, we can help meet America’s energy needs right here at home, providing energy and economic security that will benefit American families.” Watch Tipton Speak on the House Floor in Support of H.R. 4889 HERE Tipton’s full remarks are available HERE. Tipton’s Planning for American Energy Act (H.R. 1394), is listed as title II of H.R. 4889. Without repealing a single environmental regulation or review process, Tipton’s bill would establish a true all-of-the-above American energy plan, putting into place common sense steps to create a framework for using federal lands to responsibly meet America’s energy needs. The bill specifies that all energy resources including wind, solar, hydropower, geothermal, oil, natural gas, coal, oil shale and minerals needed for energy development be included in the plan. Under the legislation, the non-partisan Energy Information Administration provides the projected energy needs of the United States for the next 30 years to the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of Agriculture on which they then base four year production plans. “America’s energy capabilities are being strangled and rising gas prices are one of the consequences. This doesn’t have to be. A true all-of-the-above energy strategy that unleashes our abundant resources will lead to affordable energy for families and small businesses for years to come,” said Tipton. “Our Nation and the future prosperity of its citizens requires a true all-of-the-above domestic energy plan that responsibly increases production on federal lands while reducing red-tape. That is exactly what H.R. 4899 will accomplish. This legislation puts people to work, keeps energy costs low for families and businesses, and strengthens our national security.” Learn more about H.R. 4889 HERE. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
