Republicans on Wednesday auditioned their sales pitch for bipartisan negotiations on a sprawling package of new energy policies that Senate Democrats label “dead on arrival.”
GOP lawmakers at the forefront of the endeavor are cutting straight to the point: it’s good for vulnerable Senate Democrats and it’s needed to boost clean energy.
The wide-ranging legislation includes dozens of long-held GOP priorities but boils down to increasing domestic energy production of all forms — renewable and fossil fuel — by fast-tracking approvals for new projects that are frequently subjected to years of environmental reviews and hefty legal disputes.
“Dems need this more than the Republicans do,” said Rep. Garret Graves, Louisiana Republican and a leading proponent of the package. “You look at the mandates that are in place for emissions reduction for the deployment of renewables in their [Inflation Reduction Act]. This is math and science. You cannot meet the critical minimal volumes that are needed in order to meet the targets that they’ve established.
