America has led the world in reducing carbon emissions through innovation and entrepreneurship. Energy and Commerce Committee Republicans are building on that legacy with an all-of-the-above energy approach to lower energy costs and create jobs.

Check out how Energy and Commerce Republicans celebrated National Clean Energy Week to ensure America unleashes affordable, reliable, and clean energy.

Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) shared how America must lead with a strong energy mix of America’s abundant energy resources, including hydropower.

Key except: “The Hydropower Clean Energy Future Act will help preserve our existing hydropower fleet and bring more power online as demand grows into the future. American energy production creates jobs, lowers prices, and increases grid reliability. To win the future and ensure American prosperity, we must expand hydropower as a part of an all-of-the-above energy approach.”

Rep. Bill Johnson (R-OH) and Rep. Kat Cammack (R-FL) highlighted the Unlocking Our Domestic LNG Potential Act, which would boost American natural gas production and help prevent adversaries like China, Russia, and OPEC from undermining U.S. energy and national security.

Key excerpt: “The Biden administration continues to send mixed messages—at best—on whether or not it supports the development of reliable, sustainable, and affordable energy resources, like natural gas, here in the U.S. At a time of great global uncertainty, for America to not be sitting at the head of the global energy table is irresponsible and dangerous. It doesn’t have to be this way.” 

Nuclear energy is another key ingredient to a clean energy future. Read recent op-eds in The Washington Times from Environment, Manufacturing, and Critical Materials Subcommittee Chair Jeff Duncan (R-SC) and Rep. John Curtis (R-UT) highlighting the benefits of nuclear power and the steps the Energy and Commerce Committee is taking to support investment in this vital energy source.

Rep. Miller-Meeks (R-IA) also wrote in The Washington Times about the value of developing and refining critical minerals here in America, instead of relying on China.

Rep. Debbie Lesko (R-AZ) discussed the importance of hydrogen power for her home state of Arizona and for the country’s clean energy ambitions. Her bill, the Hydrogen Permitting Simplification Act, would ease the regulatory burden and unleash hydrogen power as a zero-carbon emission source. Strengthening our hydrogen pipeline infrastructure would make our energy grid more reliable and affordable.

Embracing a clean energy future does not require America to choose between traditional energy sources and renewables. Reps. Larry Bucshon (R-IN) and Jay Obernolte (R-CA) make the case for embracing an all-of-the-above approach while also maintaining the highest environmental standards in the world.
