Announcement by the Acting Chair
The Acting CHAIR (during the vote). There is 1 minute remaining.
{time} 1046
So the amendment was rejected.
The result of the vote was announced as above recorded.
Stated against:
Mr. PAULSEN. Mr. Chair, on rollcall No. 104 I was detained while
meeting with a constituent. Had I been present, I would have voted
``no.''
The Acting CHAIR. The question is on the amendment in the nature of a
substitute, as amended.
The amendment was agreed to.
The Acting CHAIR. Under the rule, the Committee rises.
Accordingly, the Committee rose; and the Speaker pro tempore (Mr.
Fleischmann) having assumed the chair, Mr. Hastings of Washington,
Acting Chair of the Committee of the Whole House on the state of the
Union, reported that that Committee, having had under consideration the
bill (H.R. 3826) to provide direction to the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency regarding the establishment of
standards for emissions of any greenhouse gas from fossil fuel-fired
electric utility generating units, and for other purposes, and,
pursuant to House Resolution 497, he reported the bill back to the
House with an amendment adopted in the Committee of the Whole.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under the rule, the previous question is
ordered.
Is a separate vote demanded on any amendment to the amendment
reported from the Committee of the Whole?
If not, the question is on the amendment in the nature of a
substitute, as amended.
The amendment was agreed to.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the engrossment and third
reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was
read the third time.
Motion to Recommit
Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit
at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Hastings of Washington). Is the
gentlewoman opposed to the bill?
Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, I am opposed.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Ms. Brownley of California moves to recommit the bill H.R.
3826 to the Committee on Energy and Commerce with
instructions to report the same back to the House forthwith
with the following amendment:
Redesignate section 5 as section 6 and insert after section
4 the following:
SEC. 5. SAVING CONSUMERS MONEY ON THEIR ELECTRICITY BILLS.
This Act shall not apply with respect to rules that save
consumers money on electricity bills, including rules that
allow for or encourage energy efficiency, demand response,
and other approaches to lower the cost of electricity for
consumers.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman is recognized for 5 minutes.
Ms. BROWNLEY of California. Mr. Speaker, this is the final amendment
to H.R. 3826, which will not kill the bill or send it back to
committee. If adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final
passage, as amended.
My amendment is a simple, straightforward improvement that I believe
both sides of the aisle can agree is absolutely necessary, and would be
overwhelmingly supported by the American people.
If my amendment passes, it will ensure that the American people and
American businesses throughout our country will be protected from
avoidable energy price increases.
Specifically, my amendment ensures that nothing in this act would
limit
[[Page H2212]]
the ability of regulators to issue rules that save consumers money on
their electricity bills, including rules that allow for or encourage
energy efficiency, demand response, and other approaches to lower the
cost of electricity for consumers.
Making our homes and businesses more energy-efficient will save
Americans trillions of dollars and, simultaneously, fight climate
change by reducing our country's carbon footprint.
Energy efficiency standards have already saved Americans $40 billion,
and we are on track to save $1.7 trillion in energy costs by 2035.
Proven Federal programs, like Energy Star, boost energy efficiency and
have conserved energy by helping consumers and businesses find energy-
efficient appliances and products.
In fact, commercial buildings which used Energy Star technology show
an average of 7 percent energy savings. Progress in energy efficiency
is a win/win that is good for our pocketbooks and good for our
environment. We can do more.
If just 1 in 10 households used current technology to upgrade their
home heating systems, we could keep 17 billion pounds of pollution out
of our air.
A vote for my amendment is a vote to ensure that we keep every tool
available to conserve energy and help consumers avoid needless energy
costs.
Mr. Speaker, price increases in the energy sector are a very real and
very serious problem. It hurts working families struggling to make ends
meet. It hurts homeowners who struggle every month to pay their
mortgage and utility bills, including many of my hardworking families
in Ventura County.
It hurts small and large businesses, driving up the price of doing
business and impacting their ability to invest in new equipment and
hire new workers.
It hurts our military and impacts military readiness, including Naval
Base Ventura County, costing more to keep the lights on and operate
critical facilities at Point Mugu and Port Hueneme.
It hurts our seniors who live on fixed incomes and cannot afford an
increase in their utility bills.
It hurts the specialty crop growers in Ventura County, our lemon,
strawberry, avocado, and lettuce growers, as well as our cut flower
producers, whose bottom line is so closely tied to the price of energy.
It also hurts our overall national economy and threatens to slow job
creation and the recovery of our very fragile economy.
This is why it is so important that we allow regulators, like the
EPA, to move forward with rules that can save consumers money on their
electricity bills, encourage energy efficiency, and lower the cost of
electricity for all of our consumers.
I urge my colleagues to vote ``yes'' on the motion to recommit to
ensure a better and cleaner America for our children, our
grandchildren, and many, many more generations to come.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. WHITFIELD. Mr. Speaker, I claim time in opposition to the motion
to recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Kentucky is recognized
for 5 minutes.
Mr. WHITFIELD. Mr. Speaker, if there was ever a motion to recommit
that we don't need, it is this one. The entire purpose of the
Electricity Security and Affordability Act, H.R. 3826, is to ensure
that America remains competitive in the global marketplace by lowering
electricity costs.
The Energy Information Agency reported recently that 41 out of 50
States have higher electricity rates today than they did 4 years ago.
Primarily, these electricity rates are going up because of the policies
of the Obama administration.
This act specifically allows in the future the opportunity to build a
new coal-powered plant in America the way coal-powered plants are being
built around the world. We don't anticipate one to be built as long as
natural gas prices are low, but if they go up, as they have in Europe,
we want the flexibility to build a coal-powered plant in America.
The President talks frequently about an all-of-the-above energy
policy, and yet, his policies, his regulations, his executive orders do
not allow us to use as much coal. We simply want that flexibility. We
are not mandating it, but it gives us additional flexibility.
For that reason, I would ask us to defeat the motion to recommit and
adopt H.R. 3826.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Partnership for a
Better Energy Future,
February 28, 2014.
To the Members of the House of Representatives: The
Partnership for a Better Energy Future (the Partnership), a
coalition of more than 100 organizations representing over 80
percent of the U.S. economy, urges your support for H.R.
3826, the ``Electricity Security and Affordability Act,''
which is expected to receive a vote in the House next week.
H.R. 3826 provides a more reasonable path forward in relation
to the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) greenhouse gas
(GHG) regulations, while also protecting jobs, economic
growth and international competitiveness.
The Partnership's fundamental mission is to promote an
``all-of-the-above'' energy strategy that ensures the
continued availability of reliable and affordable energy for
American families and businesses while also protecting the
environment. Unfortunately, the EPA's proposed GHG
regulations on new power plants fail to meet this test.
The EPA has begun implementing a suite of new regulations
designed to address GHG emissions from the electric power
sector. By law, these regulations are supposed to be flexible
and take into account cost and commercial availability;
however, in practice the EPA's proposed GHG regulations have
been the exact opposite. The very first regulation the EPA
unveiled, which applies to new power plants, mandates
technologies that are not yet commercially available--
effectively banning the construction of coal-fired power
plants going forward. With similar regulations on existing
power plants due in June, followed immediately by regulations
on other energy-intensive industries, the EPA's heavy-handed
approach is not an encouraging sign for the regulated
community.
H.R. 3826 provides a reasonable path forward for the EPA's
power plant GHG regulations, allowing the agency to regulate
while also protecting a diverse energy mix. For new power
plants, the bill requires separate standards for coal and
gas, with the coal standard subcategorized for coal types and
aligned with the best-performing commercially available
generation technologies. It provides a reasonable path
forward for carbon dioxide capture and sequestration (CCS),
prohibiting the EPA from mandating its use until the
technology has been deployed by at least six units located at
different commercial power plants in the United States--in
other words, until it is truly ready. Finally, it allows the
EPA to craft rules or guidelines for existing power plants,
but requires Congress to review them and set a start date
before they can take effect.
The members of the Partnership support regulations that are
cost-effective, technologically achievable and allow for a
robust ``all-of-the-above'' energy strategy. H.R. 3826 would
achieve these goals by allowing the EPA to regulate in a
balanced, reasonable fashion. The Partnership urges your
support for H.R. 3826.

United Mine Workers
of America,
Triangle, VA, March 4, 2014.
Dear Member: On behalf of the United Mine Workers of
America (UMWA) and our members I want to ask you to vote for
H.R. 3826, the Electricity Security and Affordability Act
introduced by Representative Ed Whitfield.
The UMWA is gravely concerned that the EPA has proposed an
emission rate limit for new coal electric generation plants
that requires carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) that has
not been adequately demonstrated nor is commercially
available at this time. Furthermore, EPA has based this
requirement on federally-subsidized coal generation plants
still under construction and that have yet to produce one
kilowatt of electricity.
EPA has estimated that the CCS requirement will increase
the cost of new coal generation by 30 to 80 percent. Adding
this increased cost to building new coal generation clearly
demonstrates that coal is not part of the Administration's
``All of the Above'' energy policy. Myself, along with five
other Union Presidents, wrote President Obama last year with
our recommendations on ways to build new efficient coal
generation that would reduce carbon emissions without
requiring CCS.
The Edison Electric Institute estimates that over 60
gigawatts of coal generation will close between now and 2015
as a result of EPA's final Mercury regulation and lower
natural gas prices. It is important to point out that most of
these plants were required to run to meet demand during the
recent polar vortex.
The UMWA is very concerned about the impact the proposed
NSPS regulation for existing coal plants scheduled to be
released in June will have on the remaining fleet of coal
plants and on UMWA members and other jobs in our rural
communities. The EPA and the Administration consistently
ignore the impact the loss of jobs in coal mining, utility
and transportation sectors will have on rural coalfield
communities.
As these well paying jobs disappear, how do we continue to
provide wages, pensions, and health care benefits that miners
and others have worked a lifetime to earn? How will the loss
of these jobs impact the local tax base, school systems and
health care facilities in these rural communities? UMWA
contracts alone pump billions of dollars annually into these
communities through our wages, pensions and health care. If
that disappears, there will be nothing to replace it.
The UMWA urges you to vote for H.R. 3826, the Electricity
and Affordability Act.
Sincerely yours,
Cecil E. Roberts,
International President.
____
American Iron and Steel Institute,
March 5, 2014
To: Members of the U.S. House of Representatives, House staff
assigned to steel and/or energy issues.
Support H.R. 3826--The Electricity Security and Affordability Act
Background
As the production of steel is energy-intensive, the
availability and reliability of energy is essential to the
international competitiveness of the domestic steel industry.
In order to reduce costs and improve its competitiveness, the
industry in the U.S. has reduced its energy-intensity by 27%
since 1990. In fact, a recent Department of Energy-sponsored
report concluded that the steel industry in the U.S. is the
most energy efficient of any major steel producing country.
The steel industry in the U.S. is subject to substantial
international competition, often from nations such as China,
where the industry is largely state-owned, controlled, and
subsidized. In fact, in two recent cases, the Department of
Commerce determined that Chinese steel producers were
receiving below market rates for electricity, which
constitutes a subsidy. Given these challenges, policies
enacted in the U.S. that raise energy costs on domestic
companies threaten the industry's ability to remain
competitive internationally.
Situation
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has undertaken a
two-pronged approach to regulate greenhouse gas (GHG)
emissions from electric generating utilities. It has proposed
a rule to limit GHGs from new power plants that will likely
be finalized soon, while the Agency plans to issue a draft
rule on GHG emissions from existing power plants later this
year. Although these regulations are placed directly on the
utility sector, electricity customers will bear the costs
associated with compliance. The rules will likely raise the
cost of electricity to large industrial customers like steel
producers, while potentially lessening the quality and
reliability of our nation's electricity supply. H.R. 3826,
the Electricity Security and Affordability Act, directs EPA
to use achievable and realistic standards when setting GHG
limits for new power plants and would ensure a role for
Congress in determining when the GHG rule for existing plants
goes into effect.
Request
AISI urges all members of the House to support H.R. 3826,
the Electricity Security and Affordability Act, when it is
considered by the full House. Doing so will help uphold the
international competitiveness of the domestic steel industry
by maintaining an affordable and reliable supply of
electricity.
Sincerely,-
Thomas J. Gibson.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the previous question is
ordered on the motion to recommit.
There was no objection.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to recommit.
