.RepDavidRouzer: 'The administration’s new rule is a nuclear warhead aimed squarely at our farm families, small businesses, homebuilders, every property owner, and entire communities.' sponsored energy2023
In the Water Resources and Environment Subcommittee where I serve as chairman, we have passed legislation repealing the Environmental Protection Agency’s recent and most significant regulatory power grab to date as well as permitting reform to lower energy costs.
The administration’s new rule is a nuclear warhead aimed squarely at our farm families, small businesses, homebuilders, every property owner, and entire communities because of its ambiguous and subjective definition of a “navigable water.” Proponents cite the list of exemptions for farmers and others. With such a subjective definition in place, exemptions are in the eye of the beholder. Or to put it another way, you are exempt until you are not exempt.
While many may not yet realize just how consequential the WOTUS rule will be on their everyday lives, everyone in America is all too familiar with the ramifications of the administration’s ongoing assault on American energy production and distribution. To make good on our promise to help cut energy costs, House Republicans passed H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act. As one of many key components in this package, H.R. 1 includes a bill I was proud to sponsor, H.R.
Reliable, low-cost energy is fundamental to prosperity. It is not only critical to our economy, but is critical to our food supply, our national security, and a cleaner environment. Rather than an assault on American energy production and distribution, our federal government should be focused on ensuring America can build the energy infrastructure necessary to responsibly utilize our natural resources and unleash American energy.
