Key Vote NO on amendment H.R. 5376

The American Energy Alliance reminds all members of our previously issued key vote alert opposing H.R. 5376, the reconciliation spending package.

The reconciliation package is packed with subsidies for special interests and distortions to energy markets. Energy sources we are assured are already cheap are generously subsidized. Reliable energy sources, like those that heat American homes, are taxed. Domestic sources of energy are restricted or banned. The combined effect of the energy provisions in this legislation leads to only one result: higher energy bills for all Americans. At a time of rocketing inflation, including in energy prices, the last thing hardworking Americans need is the government making these crucial inputs of the economy more expensive through misguided central planning, mandates and subsidies.

The AEA urges all members to support free markets and affordable energy by voting NO on H.R. 5376. AEA will include this vote in its American Energy Scorecard.
