# 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• Modernize outdated environmental review processes that delay essential infrastructure projects for years | |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. |
