The GOP bill will"unleash those resources so we can produce energy in America," Scalise said."We don't have to be addicted to foreign countries that don't like us.""Republicans refuse to hold polluters accountable for the damage they cause to our air, our water, our communities and our climate," said New Jersey Rep. Frank Pallone, the top Democrat on the House Energy and Commerce Committee.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said the GOP bill"restores American energy leadership by repealing unnecessary taxes and overregulation on American energy producers," and"makes it easier to build things in America" by placing a two-year time limit on environmental reviews that now take an average of seven years.
"Permitting reform isn't for everyone," McCarthy added."If you like paying more at the pump, you don't want to make it faster for American workers to build more pipelines. If you're China, you'd rather America sit back and let others lead. And if you're a bureaucrat, maybe you really do enjoy reading the 600-page environmental impact studies."
Arizona Rep. Raul Grijalva, the top Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, derided the bill as the"Polluters Over People Act" and"a nearly 200-page love letter to polluting industries."
