Congressman Randy Weber (R-Friendswood) released the following statement on House passage of H.R. 8, the North American Energy Security and Infrastructure Act:

“The health of our energy industry is vital to our national security. The North American Energy Security and Infrastructure Act would facilitate the construction of energy infrastructure, like LNG export facilities and gas pipelines, by streamlining the permit approval process. The legislation would also strengthen the Department of Energy’s role in protecting electric grid infrastructure and encourages cooperation between federal, state, and local entities. For us to have a safe America, we need a strong America. A robust and homegrown energy sector will do just that.”
