Rep. Calvert Introduces Bill for Expedited Approval of National Security Pipelines

Rep. Calvert Introduces Bill for Expedited Approval of National Security Pipelines

Congressman Ken Calvert has introduced the National Security Interstate Pipeline Act, a bill aimed at expediting the approval process for interstate oil and natural gas pipelines deemed critical to U.S. national security. The bill, H.R. 9838, allows the President to designate certain pipeline projects as essential for military installations, the defense industrial base, or critical infrastructure resilience. These projects would fall under the exclusive authority of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC), which would be required to make decisions within 180 days of an application. The bill seeks to bypass state and local permitting requirements that could delay these projects.

Congressman Neguse and Senator Luján Introduce Local Input Act to Enhance Community Involvement in Public Lands Leasing

Congressman Neguse and Senator Luján Introduce Local Input Act to Enhance Community Involvement in Public Lands Leasing

Colorado Congressman Joe Neguse and New Mexico Senator Ben Ray Luján have introduced the Local Input Act, a legislative proposal aimed at restoring the ability of local communities to provide input on oil and gas lease sales on national public lands. This bill seeks to reinstate the Department of the Interior's discretion to consider public comments and defer lease parcels that conflict with public interest. The introduction of this bill comes in response to changes made by Congress in 2025, which reduced local input by eliminating the Bureau of Land Management's authority to defer lease parcels even when legitimate conflicts are identified. The bill is supported by various conservation and regional organizations, emphasizing the importance of community involvement in managing public lands.

President Trump's Energy Price Reduction Pledge Faces Challenges as Electricity Costs Rise

President Trump's Energy Price Reduction Pledge Faces Challenges as Electricity Costs Rise

Electricity prices across the United States have increased despite President Trump's previous assurances to reduce them significantly. According to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), residential electricity rates rose by 7.3% from April 2025 to April 2026, reaching an average of 18.83 cents per kilowatt-hour. Since President Trump returned to office in January of the previous year, prices have surged by over 18%. This development complicates Trump's pre-election promise to cut energy prices in half within 18 months of his inauguration, a deadline that recently passed. The administration's strategy included expedited permitting and expanded domestic oil and gas production, but these measures have not yet resulted in the promised reductions.
