Energy Bills Relief Act Will Address High Energy Costs by Deploying Cheaper, Clean Energy

Washington D.C.- In response to the introduction of the Energy Bills Relief Act, led by Representatives Sean Casten (IL-06) and Mike Levin (CA-49) along with 122 cosponsors, the League of Conservation Voters (LCV) released the following statement from Senior Vice President for Government Affairs, Sara Chieffo:

“We applaud Representatives Casten and Levin for leading the Energy Bills Relief Act, a huge step forward in addressing high energy costs and advancing affordable clean energy. Despite Trump and congressional Republicans promising to cut energy bills in half, our energy bills have gone up by 13%. At a time when we need more energy, not less, they gutted tax credits for clean energy with their Big Ugly Bill, blocked clean energy projects – the fastest and cheapest form of energy – from coming onto the grid, left families to shoulder the costs of data centers, and propped up expensive, polluting fossil fuels. This bill would get the country back on the right track by reversing these terrible, polluter-first policies and prioritizing affordable clean energy to bring down high energy costs, putting more money back in the pockets of everyday people, and cutting  toxic pollution. ”
