Washington — Today, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) Founding President and Board Chair James Dozier released the following statement on the Senate’s vote to begin debate on the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (S. 5653):
“The cost of energy is top of mind for American families and businesses, and meaningful permitting reform can effectively address the issue. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act clears the way for American innovation to meet rising demand and unleash all forms of homegrown energy,” said James Dozier, CRES Founding President and Board Chair. “CRES is encouraged by the Senate’s swift action to consider this bill before the 119th Congress adjourns. We are grateful to Senate leadership and to Chairs Capito (R-W.Va.) and Lee (R-Utah) and Ranking Members Whitehouse (D-R.I.) and Heinrich (D-N.M.) for shaping this bipartisan legislation. With only weeks left in this Congress, we urge senators to keep this agreement intact and pass it without delay.”
