# BILL ANALYSIS: H.R. 1 - Lower Energy Costs Act
## METADATA
- **Bill Number**: H.R. 1 (119th Congress)
- **Title**: Lower Energy Costs Act
- **Sponsor**: Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA)
- **Introduction Date**: January 9, 2023
- **Committee**: House Committee on Energy and Commerce
## 24-WORD SUMMARY
Expedites energy project permitting, reduces regulatory barriers, promotes domestic production, and limits executive authority over energy infrastructure development.
## OVERT GOALS
• Streamline federal permitting processes to accelerate energy infrastructure project development timelines significantly
• Reduce regulatory burden on domestic oil, gas, and renewable energy production facilities
• Promote American energy independence through increased domestic fossil fuel and mineral extraction
• Create jobs in energy sectors by removing bureaucratic obstacles to project development
• Lower consumer energy costs through increased domestic supply and reduced regulatory compliance expenses
• Enhance national security by reducing dependence on foreign energy sources and critical minerals
• Modernize outdated environmental review processes that delay essential infrastructure projects for years
• Support rural communities economically dependent on energy production and related industrial activities
## COVERT GOALS
• Permanently weaken environmental protection standards under guise of temporary emergency streamlining measures
• Transfer significant executive branch regulatory authority to Congress, reducing presidential environmental oversight powers
• Create legal precedents that make future environmental regulations extremely difficult to implement effectively
• Benefit specific corporate donors in fossil fuel industry through targeted regulatory relief provisions
• Undermine state-level environmental protections by establishing federal preemption in key regulatory areas
• Establish judicial review limitations that make challenging environmentally harmful projects nearly impossible
• Create permanent funding mechanisms for industry-favorable agencies while defunding environmental enforcement divisions
• Lock in fossil fuel infrastructure investments that will resist clean energy transition efforts
## CONCLUSION
This bill is heavily laden with covert goals that fundamentally restructure environmental governance while using energy costs as political cover for corporate interests.
