New House Appropriation Act Strong First Step to Restoring American Energy Independence

March 5, 2024

Congress is supposed to provide checks and balances to the executive branch, and the newly released House Consolidated Appropriations Act is starting that process. The Appropriations Act stands up to President Biden and his army of bureaucrats and fights for energy price relief for the American people. 

According to a release, the Consolidated Appropriations Act includes the following key provisions:

• Cuts funding for the Environmental Protection Agency by almost 10 percent
• Cuts Biden’s “Environmental Justice” budget request by $275 million
• Helps protect farmers and ranchers from onerous regulations.

Power The Future Executive Director Daniel Turner praised the Chairwoman Granger for her leadership,

“Enough is enough, Joe Biden is pushing through his extreme climate agenda by using every corner of the administration while using our tax dollars to do it. By cutting back funding on Biden’s army of bureaucrats, this appropriation bill will send the message that driving up prices on our families is no longer acceptable. We commend Chair Granger for reclaiming congressional authority from a rogue administrative state that uses unappropriated funds to advance an agenda that neither Congress nor the American people support.”

The bill is expected to be voted on in the House of Representatives this week.
