WASHINGTON – Today, Citizens for Responsible Energy Solutions (CRES) President Heather Reams issued the following statement in response to the Senate’s passage of H.R. 1:
“CRES appreciates Majority Leader Thune for his leadership and thanks the many Senate Republican champions for their commitment to an all-of-the-above energy policy, which is crucial to achieve American energy dominance.
“We appreciate the Senate’s work to enhance American leadership for hydrogen, while also providing vital support to nuclear energy, geothermal, and hydropower, as well as carbon capture technologies.
“Meeting the ever-increasing energy demands of a growing American economy, including expanding manufacturing and AI technology sectors, while also keeping electricity prices in check for American families and businesses, will require every possible electron. Energy tax incentives play an important role in ensuring affordability, advancing energy innovation and enhancing the homegrown energy necessary for the American economy to thrive and to remain globally competitive. We are pleased with the American energy that was advanced by this bill. Even as the Senate bill did support many vital American energy sources, we are disappointed that a similar level of support was not included for the renewable energy technologies that will play an important role in powering America’s success.
“As this bill moves back to the House, we encourage members to maintain their support for these critical tax provisions, which bolster domestic energy generation to secure true American energy dominance.”
