Protecting Energy Production: Prohibiting Moratorium on Hydraulic Fracturing

This act aims to protect energy production in the U.S. by prohibiting the President from declaring a nationwide moratorium on hydraulic fracturing unless explicitly authorized by Congress. This means oil and gas extraction using fracturing can continue, potentially impacting energy prices and fuel availability for citizens.
Key points
The President cannot unilaterally ban hydraulic fracturing, ensuring stability in oil and gas production.
States retain primary authority for regulating fracturing on their lands, which may lead to regional regulatory differences.
