The Energy and Commerce Committee is leading to restore America’s energy dominance and leadership. In a Full Committee markup, E&C advanced solutions to unlock clean nuclear and hydropower energy, protect our electric grid from harmful regulations and supply chain shortages, and preserve people’s access to affordable housing and home appliances. 

As Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) said, “We often take for granted the basic ability to heat our homes, fill up our gas tanks, or hop on a plane and travel across the nation in mere hours. Today’s bills will further unlock American energy and make sure people have an opportunity for a better life and an affordable energy future.”
