This Resolution expresses support for rural communities in the United States, recognizing their vital roles as environmental stewards, major energy suppliers, critical food producers and manufacturers, and drivers of national economic stability. It specifically acknowledges the efforts of the House of Representatives in the 119th Congress to support these communities through various legislative actions. These actions include reforms to the Clean Air Act to prevent disadvantages for rural areas affected by wildfires or foreign pollution, streamlining the process for building natural gas pipelines to lower energy costs, ensuring reliable electricity through appropriate regulatory processes, prioritizing dispatchable electricity generation for grid reliability, and rolling back regulations to reduce appliance costs. The Resolution also highlights legislation aimed at increasing economic and employment opportunities by removing restrictions on liquefied natural gas exports and preserving hydropower resources for affordable electricity. Furthermore, it emphasizes the House's commitment to improving rural health care by investing in programs, addressing the opioid crisis, expanding telehealth, and lowering insurance premiums. The Resolution also points to legislation that strengthens domestic manufacturing, enhances supply chain resilience, provides consumer protections online, offers choices in vehicle purchases by eliminating electric vehicle mandates, and facilitates broadband deployment by unleashing spectrum and prioritizing permitting applications.
