Sen. Tuberville Pushes for Energy Freedom with New Bill
Energy Choice Act of stops state, local governments from limiting access to energy sources like natural gas and propane
U.S. Senators Tommy Tuberville (R-AL), Jim Justice (R-WV), and Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV) have introduced the Energy Choice Act of 2025. This bill will stop state and local governments from limiting access to energy sources like natural gas and propane.
The legislation prevents local rules that ban or restrict the use of types of energy that are legally sold across state lines. This includes natural gas, propane, hydrogen, and electricity. Supporters say the bill protects consumer choice and supports energy jobs.
“For four years, Joe Biden and woke Democrats took a sledgehammer to American energy production,” said Sen. Tuberville. “We need to rein-in blue states who caved to the climate-cult and imposed ridiculous regulations that are deeply unpopular with hardworking Americans. Thankfully, President Trump is working around the clock to unleash America’s energy potential. I’m proud to join my colleagues to support President Trump, restore American energy dominance, and preserve consumer choice.”
Senator Justice emphasized the importance of energy freedom, saying, “I am an energy guy from an energy-rich state. I know how important freedom of energy production is – which is why I’m proud to introduce Energy Choice Act of 2025.”
The bill has received support from various industry groups, including the American Gas Association and the National Association of Home Builders. They argue that limiting energy options can lead to higher costs for consumers.
In the House of Representatives, Congressman Nick Langworthy (R-NY-23) is leading the effort to pass the bill. He stated, “People deserve the freedom to choose energy that is affordable, reliable, and proven—not be forced into rolling blackouts to please eco-activists who don’t live in the real world.”
If passed, the Energy Choice Act will limit the ability of states and cities to restrict energy sources, ensuring that consumers have access to a wide variety of energy options.
