Under the Biden administration, families across the United States, including those in North Carolina, have faced rising costs at the gas pump, the grocery store, and in nearly every corner of the economy.
The administration’s policies, centered around climate activism, have disproportionately affected working-class families who are already struggling to make ends meet.
The energy sector, one of the most vital components of our economy, has been severely impacted by policies that prioritize radical environmental agendas over the practical needs of American citizens.
This approach has undermined the stability and affordability of energy in America, making it harder for everyday people to thrive.
The need for a course correction has never been more urgent. Thankfully, Republicans in the House of Representatives have already taken a historic step by passing the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), a piece of legislation designed to reverse the damage done by the Biden administration and restore American energy dominance.
This bill is about putting America first, securing affordable energy, and creating an environment where working families can prosper once again. It is the roadmap to a future where the American energy industry leads the world, and where the power of American workers drives economic success.
Under President Donald Trump, the United States was transformed into the world’s top energy producer, with low energy costs, a stable supply, and a booming economy.
The Trump administration understood that energy is the lifeblood of the American economy and made decisions to support domestic energy production.
This led to a period of unprecedented growth, job creation, and economic stability. However, in just a few short years, the Biden administration has undone that progress with a policy agenda that is driven by radical environmentalism and the misguided belief that the U.S. can afford to turn its back on its energy resources.
The results have been devastating for working families, small businesses, and American energy independence.
One of the most damaging aspects of the Biden administration’s energy policies has been its attack on American energy infrastructure. The Green New Deal philosophy, which has been championed by far-left progressives, has led to the cancellation of vital energy projects like the Keystone XL pipeline, the freezing of crucial oil and gas lease sales, and the imposition of red tape on energy projects that have stalled progress and hindered domestic production.
These policies have caused energy costs to soar, putting a significant strain on families and businesses across the country. In communities like mine in central North Carolina, where manufacturing, agriculture, and small businesses are the backbone of the economy, these policies have had a particularly devastating impact.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is the response to this crisis. It is a bold and commonsense piece of legislation that restores America’s energy future by eliminating the regulatory burdens that have been placed on the energy industry by the Biden administration.
The OBBB is designed to streamline the permitting process for energy projects, making it easier and faster for companies to develop and expand domestic energy production.
By reinstating regular lease sales and eliminating costly delays, the bill will help increase energy production and reduce the costs that have been hurting American families and businesses.
The goal of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act is simple: remove government barriers that have hindered progress and let American workers and businesses thrive.
The bill encourages private investment in energy infrastructure and development through commonsense tax reforms that incentivize the growth of the energy sector.
It is a direct challenge to the radical environmentalist agenda that has dominated the Biden administration, and a step toward restoring American energy dominance.
With the OBBB, we are taking back control of our energy future and ensuring that the U.S. is no longer held hostage by foreign powers or unstable energy markets.
For American families, the benefits of the One Big Beautiful Bill are clear. Lower energy costs will provide much-needed relief for families who have been struggling to make ends meet.
From farmers in North Carolina to truckers on I-85, from manufacturers to small business owners, Americans across the country will feel the difference when energy costs are reduced.
Energy is not just a cost for households, it is the foundation for nearly every aspect of the economy. When energy prices rise, everything else becomes more expensive.
The OBBB will lower costs for businesses, which will, in turn, lower costs for consumers. By removing the unnecessary barriers and delays that have caused prices to rise, the bill will help create a more affordable and sustainable future for all Americans.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is not a one-size-fits-all solution. It recognizes the importance of a balanced approach to energy production, supporting all forms of domestic energy, including oil, gas, nuclear, and renewable sources.
This holistic approach ensures that America remains a global energy leader and allows for the innovation and expansion of diverse energy sources. The bill doesn’t pick winners and losers but instead unleashes the full potential of American ingenuity.
By supporting all forms of energy, we can create jobs, reduce emissions, and increase energy independence, all while protecting the environment and strengthening the economy.
The OBBB is about more than just lowering energy costs; it is about making America stronger and more resilient in the face of global challenges. Under the Biden administration, the U.S. has seen its energy independence slip away, with countries like China taking the lead in energy development.
There is no reason why America should be trailing behind China in energy production, and there is no reason why our allies should be more eager to invest in natural gas than we are.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a direct response to this global imbalance, and it restores America’s position as the leader in energy development.
Energy independence is crucial not only for economic reasons but also for national security. The U.S. cannot afford to rely on unstable foreign energy markets for its energy needs.
The OBBB will ensure that America remains self-sufficient and able to meet its energy needs without being dependent on foreign oil and gas. This is vital for protecting American security and ensuring that we are not vulnerable to the whims of foreign governments.
By increasing domestic energy production, we reduce our reliance on foreign powers and strengthen our national security.
The One Big Beautiful Bill Act is a direct challenge to the policies of the Biden administration, which has prioritized climate activism over economic reality.
Biden’s approach has been to impose unnecessary regulations, cancel vital energy projects, and allow the bureaucracy to stifle American energy production.
The OBBB is the antithesis of these policies, offering a practical and realistic approach to energy production that prioritizes American workers, families, and businesses. It is a bill that puts America first and puts energy independence at the forefront of our economic future.
In conclusion, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act represents a critical step toward restoring American energy dominance and ensuring that working families and businesses are no longer burdened by skyrocketing energy costs.
The bill will streamline energy project permitting, boost domestic production, and eliminate costly delays, creating an environment where American ingenuity can thrive.
By prioritizing energy independence and securing affordable energy, the OBBB will improve the lives of Americans across the country and help restore the U.S. to its rightful place as the global leader in energy production.
This legislation is the course correction America needs to secure a brighter, more prosperous future for all.
