Republicans Must Seize This Transformative Energy Opportunity And Pass The SPEED Act

Dec 12, 2025 by AFP

For decades, Republicans have championed the principle that America’s energy future should be driven by innovation and the free market—not by government mandates or political favoritism. The SPEED Act represents the most transformative permitting reform in generations, and it’s a critical step toward unleashing America’s full energy potential.

For too long, Washington has used regulatory red tape to pick winners and losers in the energy sector. The result? Higher prices for families and businesses, and a weaker economy for everyone. It’s time for a different approach—one that removes barriers, levels the playing field, and lets the market decide what works best.

The SPEED Act does exactly that. By cutting through bureaucratic delays, this legislation will accelerate energy projects of all kinds, reduce costs, and strengthen America’s energy security. Republicans have fought for this kind of reform for decades. Now is the moment to deliver.

We urge all lawmakers—especially those who have long stood for energy freedom—to support the SPEED Act. Let’s take the chains off American energy production and empower consumers, innovators, and job creators to drive our energy future.
