House Republicans want to pass a huge energy bill by the end of March with some of the party’s most popular pitches over the past decade, from boosting fossil-fuel production on federal lands to easing environmental reviews of energy and mining projects.
Nearly three months after they swept in, House Republicans are almost ready to take the first big piece of their agenda to the floor. And it’s not exactly a shoo-in.and his team have spent weeks assembling a marquee energy package designed to unite their fractious conference and accomplish one of their biggest pledges from last year’s gas-price-obsessed midterms.

The big energy package has long been atop the GOP’s agenda, not all of which has gone smoothly after a dragged-out speaker’s race and slow start to legislating. While House Majority Leaderon the southern border, criminal justice and abortion insurance restrictions within the first two weeks of the new majority, those bills have all stalled amid resistance within the conference.
They know that their package’s pro-fossil-fuel proposals and its targeting of Biden’s progressive climate policies are unlikely to garner bipartisan support, but GOP lawmakers hope the permitting plank in particular represents an aggressive starting point for negotiations with Senate Democrats. Perhaps their most politically vulnerable centrist, Sen., watched his permitting reform plan fall short last year even as his party controlled both the House and Senate.
