The House’s largest conservative caucus wants the GOP to take another stab at rolling back billions in clean energy spending approved by Democrats while giving a leg up to fossil fuels aimed at lowering energy prices.
The House Republican Study Committee was set to unveil a budget proposal of its own on Wednesday to emphasize the group’s priorities to leadership ahead of what are expected to be contentious negotiations between House Republicans and Senate Democrats to fund the federal government and avert a shutdown.
The Republican Study Committee budget plan, previewed by The Washington Times, includes all of House Republicans’ marquee H.R. 1 energy package that was passed earlier this year mostly along party lines but died in the Democratic-controlled Senate.
The budget proposal from the Republican Study Committee, consisting of the majority of House Republicans at more than 150 members, also includes dozens of other standalone energy-related measures from GOP lawmakers that would:- Reverse Mr. Biden’s halt on oil drilling in arctic Alaska near the state’s Willow oil project.- Block proposed rules for corporations to disclose climate risks.
- Require congressional approval to prohibit or delay fossil fuel or critical mineral production on federal lands.- Authorize the completion of the Keystone XL oil pipeline blocked by Mr. Biden.
