ICYMI: Lawmakers Have A Once-In-A-Generation Opportunity to Unleash America’s Full Energy Potential

Dec 15, 2025 by AFP

ARLINGTON, VA— In case you missed it, Americans for Prosperity is calling on lawmakers to seize a once-in-a-generation opportunity to unleash America’s energy potential. The SPEED Act represents the most transformative permitting reform in decades—and it’s time to act.

Why It Matters

For decades, Republicans have championed the principle that America’s energy future should be driven by innovation and the free market—not government mandates or political favoritism. Yet Washington’s regulatory red tape has picked winners and losers, driving up prices for families and businesses and weakening our economy.

The SPEED Act: A Game-Changer

Cuts through bureaucratic delays to accelerate energy projects of all kinds.
Reduces costs for consumers and businesses.
Strengthens America’s energy security by unleashing innovation and competition.

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.
