Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy, and Regulatory Affairs Chairman Eric Burlison has announced the first hearing of the 119th Congress. The hearing is titled “Leading the Charge: Opportunities to Strengthen America’s Energy Reliability.” It will focus on evaluating issues affecting the power grid, challenges to new innovation, and policies aimed at reducing energy costs for consumers.
Burlison emphasized the importance of affordable and reliable energy for Americans. He stated, "Hard working Americans deserve affordable, reliable energy. For far too long, suffocating regulations and unnecessary red tape have stifled innovation, hamstrung energy producers, and driven up prices for American families and businesses." He expressed readiness to support President Trump's agenda in restoring American energy dominance while ensuring lower prices for consumers.
The hearing will take place on Wednesday, February 26, 2024, at 9:30 AM ET in the Rayburn House Office Building. Witnesses include Alex Epstein from the Center for Industrial Progress, Mandy Gunasekara formerly with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Alex Herrgott from The Permitting Institute.
