<p>Here is a link to the Energy Bills relief Act Proposal:</p><p> https://seec.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/seec.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/26.01.21-energy-bills-relief-act-summary_0.pdf</p><p></p><p><strong>What the Energy Bills Relief Act would actually do:</strong></p><p>It focuses on one core goal: <strong>lowering energy costs for everyday people.</strong></p><p><strong>Add more affordable energy</strong>When demand is higher than supply, prices go up. This bill restores incentives for renewable energy (the cheapest and fastest to scale), expands solar (including community and large-scale options), and speeds up projects that are currently stuck in red tape — so relief doesn’t take years.</p><p><strong>Modernize the grid</strong>Our energy system is outdated. This bill invests in infrastructure so energy can move more efficiently between regions, lowers connection costs, and reduces risks from things like wildfires — all of which helps bring costs down.</p><p> <strong>Put affordability over profits</strong>It cracks down on price gouging and stops expensive, outdated energy sources from being artificially propped up — because too often, those extra costs get passed on to us.</p><p><strong>Put people first</strong>This includes making homes more energy-efficient (like insulation and sealing leaks to lower bills), sharing benefits with communities, and protecting families from utility shut-offs — especially those already struggling.</p><p><strong>Bottom line:</strong>More supply + better systems + fairer pricing = <strong>lower bills and more stability for families.</strong></p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
