The House Energy and Commerce Committee will mark up seven energy-related bills as part of House Republicans’ broader legislative assault this week on the Biden administration’s energy agenda.
The panel on Wednesday will consider more than two dozen bills in all, including five targeting recently finalized energy efficiency standards for home appliances. The legislation comes amid Republicans’ long-promised “energy week.”
One bill, from Rep. Jeff Duncan (R-S.C.), chair of the Subcommittee on Energy, Climate and Grid Security, would reauthorize the government’s pipelines regulator for another five years.
Another, from Rep. Buddy Carter (R-Ga.), chair of the Subcommittee on Environment, Manufacturing and Critical Materials, takes aim at EPA’s recently finalized air quality standards regulating airborne soot.
