Advance American energy dominance by increasing investment in critical minerals extraction, geothermal energy, and grid cybersecurity.

This legislation supports one of the largest investments in decades, with a focus on mining production technologies for critical minerals extraction. We are increasing investment in geothermal energy sources... We are strongly funding cybersecurity efforts to protect our grid from attacks.

The release commits to energy-related funding for critical minerals, geothermal power, and grid cybersecurity.

Roll Call 190 on H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, was passed 218-214 on July 3, 2025. The Clerk records Rep. Moolenaar, Republican, Michigan, voting Aye.

Moolenaar voted for the final House passage of H.R. 1 in the 119th Congress, the enacted reconciliation law containing critical-minerals funding and some geothermal-related tax provisions.

The law appropriates $2,000,000,000 to improve the United States stockpile of critical minerals, $5,000,000,000 for investments in critical minerals supply chains, and $500,000,000 for a credit program for critical minerals and related industries and projects.

This is strong official evidence that the critical-minerals investment portion of the promise was substantially advanced in the same congressional term through enacted spending and credit authority.

Section 50403, Energy dominance financing, amends loan authority to support electric supply needed to maintain or enhance grid reliability and changes eligible activity to include identification, leasing, development, production, processing, transportation, transmission, refining, and generation needed for energy and critical minerals.

The enacted law broadened energy-dominance financing and grid reliability support, but the cited provision is about reliability and critical-minerals/energy project finance rather than a specific increase for grid cybersecurity.

Section 70524 adds income from hydrogen storage, carbon capture, advanced nuclear, hydropower, and geothermal energy to qualifying income of certain publicly traded partnerships.

This provides a narrow enacted tax-investment benefit for geothermal energy, but it is not broad direct spending on geothermal development and does not by itself satisfy the full promise.

The law includes a section titled enhancement of Department of Defense resources for improving the efficiency and cybersecurity of the Department of Defense, including $20,000,000 for defense cybersecurity programs of DARPA.

The enacted cybersecurity funding identified in this law is defense-focused, not electric-grid cybersecurity. This leaves the grid-cybersecurity part of the promise unfulfilled or unproven by this enactment.

The House-passed bill was titled to lower energy costs by increasing American energy production, exports, infrastructure, and critical minerals processing. It included sections on securing critical minerals supply, geothermal leasing, permitting for mining needs, and a permit process for extraction, recovery, or processing of critical materials.

Before the current term, House Republicans advanced a broad energy bill that addressed critical minerals and geothermal leasing, but it was not enacted and therefore counts as effort rather than fulfillment.

The Clerk records H.R. 1, the Lower Energy Costs Act, passing the House 225-204 on March 30, 2023, and records Rep. Moolenaar, Republican, Michigan, voting Yea.

Moolenaar supported the House-passed Lower Energy Costs Act, an earlier concrete effort on critical minerals and geothermal leasing. Because it did not become law, it supports an effort badge but not full delivery.

Axios reported that Sens. Jeanne Shaheen and Todd Young, with Reps. John Moolenaar and Rob Wittman, would introduce the SECURE Minerals Act to establish a $2.5 billion Strategic Resilience Reserve for critical minerals.

This indicates continuing concrete action by Moolenaar on critical-minerals investment in 2026, but without official enacted-law evidence it is best treated as ongoing effort, not completed delivery.
