To Expand America’s Energy Infrastructure House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today applauded House passage of the Natural Gas Pipeline Permitting Reform Act (H.R. 1900), legislation introduced by Rep. Mike Pompeo (R-KS) to facilitate the expansion of America’s gas pipeline infrastructure: “Huge increases in natural gas production are driving America’s energy boom, but that progress is being throttled by an infrastructure system that hasn’t kept pace with our changing energy landscape. New pipelines needed to accommodate increased production are mired in a review process marked by needless delays and missed deadlines. This bill holds bureaucrats accountable for meeting approval deadlines without compromising environmental safeguards. It will expedite the march toward America’s next economic frontier, helping energy producers create jobs, grow the economy and make our country a nation of builders again. I hope the president will call on his Democratic-led Senate to take up this jobs bill without delay.” See more at: http://www.speaker.gov/press-release/house-passes-jobs-bill-expand-america-s-energy-infrastructure#sthash.0sRoplmo.dpuf
