Scorecard

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to support H.R. 2811 the Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023. This legislation begins the process of repealing many of the expensive and distortionary energy subsidies jammed into the misleadingly named Inflation Reduction Act. While more is needed, this is an important start.

The estimated cost of the vast subsidies in the IRA to taxpayers has already ballooned, tripling or even quadrupling depending on which estimate one uses, in less than a...

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to vote yes on final passage of H.R. 1 the Lower Energy Costs Act.

This legislation includes common sense reforms and policy changes which will lower energy costs for Americans and encourage domestic investment in resource development as well as reducing red tape for a broad spectrum of energy and energy-related projects. With persistently high inflation, these types of actions to lower costs are all the more needed. The incremental steps...

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to vote YES on amendments 10, 11, 12, and 13 and vote NO on amendment 26 offered to H.R. 1 the Lower Energy Costs Act.

YES: Palmer-Lesko amendment #10 would ensure that consumer choice in appliances is not arbitrarily constrained. Despite denials from the White House, various parts of the bureaucracy continue to advance proposals that would ban functionally all gas powered stoves. Congress can definitively end this threat with a simple vote.

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to support H.R. 21, The Strategic Production Response Act, which would require plans to increase leasing on federal lands in order to draw down the Strategic Petroleum Reserve during non-emergencies.

The SPR was meant to serve as an emergency reserve of oil in the event of major events like the Arab oil embargo or natural disasters. It was never meant for attempts to micromanage gas prices, and presidents of both parties have misused the SPR...

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to oppose H.R. 5376, the 2022 budget resolution reconciliation legislation.

The reconciliation package is filled with new taxes and spending that are bad policy at any time, but especially dangerous at a time of high inflation and with the economy tipping into recession. As multiple independent analyses show, this legislation will not reduce inflation despite the title adopted by its proponents. More government spending, more subsidies, and...

The American Energy Alliance urges all Senators to support S.J. Res. 55, the Congressional Review Act resolution of disapproval for the Council on Environmental Quality revisions to implementation rules for the National Environmental Policy Act.

Construction of infrastructure of all types takes far too long, and costs far too much, in the United States. One of the primary reasons for this excessive time and expense is the tangled mess of the NEPA review process. This costly and lengthy...

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to oppose H.R. 7688, the Consumer Fuel Price Gouging Prevention Act. This legislation claims to address an imaginary problem by giving the President of the United States unilateral power to set prices and harass small businesses based on a vague idea of "unconscionably excessive" gas prices.

While there are many factors that affect gas prices, most especially the price and supply of crude oil, so-called price gouging is not one of them. Over...
