What the record shows ·
He voted for the Lower Energy Costs Act in 2023, which passed the House 225-204. It would have barred a president from banning fracking without an act of Congress. He cosponsored that part as its own bill, which passed the House 229-188 in 2024. Neither became law. In 2024 he voted for S. 870, which carried the ADVANCE Act on advanced nuclear reactors. It passed the House 393-13 and became law. In 2025 he sponsored a bill to repeal federal energy tax credits, including those for nuclear power and clean electricity.
Limit: Neither fracking bill became law, and his tax-credit bill has not left committee. No vote on hydroelectric power is on this card.
