Pryce: Energy Plan Will Energize Our Economy
July 28, 2005

Washington, DC - Culminating four years of hard work, the House voted today in favor of the final version of the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (H.R. 6). Congresswoman Deborah Pryce (R-Upper Arlington) issued the following statement praising its passage:

"Today the House passed the most comprehensive energy legislation we've seen in the last 30 years. This balanced bill will not only reduce our dependency on foreign oil making us safer here at home, but will also spur our economy and create hundreds of thousands of jobs.

"This bill provides incentives that will encourage Ohio's energy and automotive industry to invest in energy efficient infrastructure, creating hundreds of jobs and economic opportunities in our State. The bill also offers incentives for families to adopt these new technologies. By improving our environment through the promotion of clean and renewable fuels and energy conservation, Ohio will be an even greater place to live and work."

"Energy security depends on our energy independence. This plan will encourage more domestic production of oil, help put more Americans back to work, and through conservation and better environmental options help bring America's energy system into the 21st Century."
