As your Representative, I firmly believe that we need to stop government subsidies for green energy and cut the burdensome regulations placed on oil and natural gas producers.

Brecheen commits to opposing green-energy subsidies and easing regulations on oil and gas producers in order to strengthen American energy independence.

The bill title and full title state that H.R. 4690 amends the Energy Conservation and Production Act to repeal certain Federal building energy efficiency performance standards, and for other purposes.

This is direct legislative text aligned with reducing burdensome federal energy-use regulations; it does not itself show final enactment, but it is concrete action in the direction of the promise.

The reported House version states the bill would amend the Geothermal Steam Act of 1970 to waive the requirement for a Federal drilling permit for certain activities and exempt certain activities from NEPA requirements.

This is a concrete deregulatory energy bill that matches the promise to reduce burdensome regulations on energy producers, but it does not show enactment into law.

Assessments

partial same_term A for effort

Brecheen supported energy-regulation rollback legislation in the House, including bills to repeal federal building energy-efficiency standards and to waive drilling permit/NEPA requirements for certain geothermal activities. That is concrete deregulatory action consistent with the promise to reduce burdensome energy regulations, but the evidence does not show enactment into law and does not directly show stopping green-energy subsidies or oil-and-gas-specific regulatory relief at the promised scope. This supports partial credit rather than full delivery.

partial same_term A for effort

Brecheen took same-term legislative action consistent with the promise by voting to advance energy deregulation measures, including bills to repeal federal building energy efficiency standards and reduce federal permitting/NEPA requirements for certain geothermal energy activities. The evidence shows serious effort and partial alignment with reducing burdensome energy regulations, but it does not show enacted repeal of green energy subsidies or completed regulatory relief for oil and natural gas producers sufficient to count as full delivery.
