House GOP moves to cement Trump energy agenda by taking sledgehammer to Biden-era regulations

House Republicans are introducing a bill aimed at rolling back Biden's energy regulations to solidify Trump's energy policies.

House Republicans, led by Rep. Craig Goldman of Texas, are proposing new legislation designed to reinforce former President Donald Trump's energy agenda by dismantling various regulations set during President Joe Biden's administration. The proposed bill aims to implement a five-year expiration window for all future energy regulations while mandating a one-year review process for existing rules, effectively reducing the regulatory framework that Democrats could leverage for long-term energy policies.

This legislative move comes as a response to Trump’s executive order addressing energy regulations instituted by Biden. Goldman and other proponents argue that Biden's regulations contribute to rising energy costs and hinder the economy's growth. By instating a more stringent review system for future regulations, the GOP hopes to limit the Democratic party's ability to enact significant environmental protections and energy policies, claiming these policies are often viewed as overly burdensome by the business community.

The implications of this legislation could lead to a substantial shift in the U.S. energy landscape, reinforcing fossil fuel development at the expense of renewable energy initiatives. If passed, this bill could create a long-lasting impact on energy production and environmental policy in the United States, signaling more significant challenges for future administrations looking to address climate change and regulatory measures.
