U.S. House Energy and Commerce (E&C) Committee Republican members U.S. Reps. Greg Walden (R-OR), Fred Upton (R-MI), and John Shimkus (R-IL) on June 30 unveiled several bills to bolster America’s energy independence and modernize the nation’s energy infrastructure.
“We are proud to lead this effort with our Republican colleagues to support the hardworking men and women of the U.S. energy sector, expand access to clean energy, promote nuclear innovation, protect natural gas resources, and strengthen North American energy security,” the representatives said in a joint statement released by the committee.
Rep. Walden is ranking member of the House E&C Committee while Rep. Upton is ranking member of the committee’s Energy Subcommittee, and Rep. Shimkus is ranking member of the E&C Environment and Climate Change Subcommittee.
“U.S. energy independence is vital for a prosperous economy and for our national security,” said the lawmakers. “The need to ensure we have the resources to power our lives, from the fuel in our cars to the electricity in our homes, has been underscored during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
