House Republicans pushed a series of bills Tuesday to reduce regulation of the oil and gas and mining industries in a bid to expand domestic energy production.
The proposals have drawn support from an oil and gas industry that says it is being overwhelmed by a variety of threats from the government and environmental groups.
The proposed bills drew steady pushback from Democrats, who argued the bills sought to undermine “bedrock environmental laws.” The majority of the bills would effect the oil and gas industry, but there is also legislation to speed up permitting for mining — something auto and battery manufacturers are calling for — and to ban the importation of nuclear fuel from Russia, beginning in 2028.the Biden administration placed a moratorium on mining on 225,000 acres of federal land in Minnesota
"Without permitting reform, the U.S. will be watching the global competition for energy dominance from the sidelines," she said."Providing additional funds or incentives for projects that will never be approved does nothing."
