U.S. House Passes Bill to Prevent Future Bans on Hydraulic Fracturing
Washington D.C. — The Republican-controlled House of Representatives passed the Protecting American Energy Production Act with a vote of 226 to 188.
This bill aims to prevent any future president from imposing a moratorium on hydraulic fracturing without explicit congressional approval. All Republican members voted in favor, while 118 Democrats voted against it.
The legislation seeks to reverse actions taken by former President Joe Biden, who, in his final weeks in office, halted oil and gas development on 625 million acres of coastal and offshore waters.
Rep. August Pfluger (R-TX), the bill’s sponsor, stated its purpose:
“When President Biden took office, his administration took a ‘whole of government’ approach to wage war on American energy production, pandering to woke environmental extremists and crippling this thriving industry. The law I passed today is a necessary first step in stopping Biden’s war on energy by stopping the federal government from banning hydraulic fracturing.”
This aligns with President Donald J. Trump’s "drill, baby, drill" agenda. If enacted, the bill would require congressional approval for any future presidential action to ban American energy jobs.
Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum has reportedly begun dismantling previous climate rules and oil lease limits. Under President Trump, America is aiming to become an energy superpower.
Republicans advocate for affordable energy, job creation, and energy independence, contrasting with what they describe as the radical left's anti-energy agenda that led to increased gas prices.
House Republicans continue to advance the America First agenda.
Republicans are taking action to protect American energy, jobs, and sovereignty.
