"Energy bill divides House Republicans and Texas Democrats"

The Republican-controlled US House of Representatives is set to vote on its first major legislation of the year, a partisan energy bill that aims to lower Americans' energy costs by scaling back President Joe Biden's climate policies and increasing oil and gas production through deregulation. The bill has stirred reservations from at least five Republicans, including Florida lawmakers who oppose existing wind energy leases off the state's coast. Democrats have decried the legislation as a giveaway for the oil industry and have labeled it as "dead on arrival" in the Democratic-led Senate.
