Energy Security Act: No Grants for States Banning Fracking

This act aims to link federal energy grants with state policies on oil and gas extraction. If a state establishes or maintains a ban on hydraulic fracturing (fracking), it will lose eligibility for certain federal grants. This could influence state decisions on energy policy and potentially future energy costs.
Key points
States that prohibit hydraulic fracturing will not be eligible for federal grants under the energy program.
The goal is to encourage states to allow fracking, aiming to increase U.S. energy production.
