This week the American Energy Alliance released its American Energy Scorecard for the House of Representatives. The AEA scorecard scores voting and co-sponsorship decisions on legislation affecting energy and environmental policy, educating voters on how their representatives vote and holding members accountable for those decisions. This year’s scorecard compiles 7 votes from the 117th Congress. 177 House members […]

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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

The American Energy Alliance urges all Senators to support the following motions to instruct conferees to the H.R. 4521 conference committee.

YES on Lee motion to […]

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 […]

The American Energy Alliance urges all members to vote NO on H.R. 3684, the infrastructure bill as amended by the Senate. This legislation is poor policy and a bad use of taxpayer resources. The subsidies for electric vehicles and charging are not the responsibility of the federal government. The tens of billions of dollars for unneeded […]

The American Energy Alliance urges all Senators to oppose the nomination of Tracy Stone-Manning for director of the Bureau of Land Management. Stone-Manning has a demonstrated history of environmental radicalism that is disqualifying for the role of BLM director. Her involvement in violent, criminal activism alone should be disqualifying. But beyond that incident Stone-Manning has […]
