•      "At a time when American families are struggling with rising energy bills thanks to the policies of President Trump and Congressional Republicans, today Committee Republicans are doubling down on legislative proposals that will further raise energy bills and threaten America’s power grid. These partisan bills are meant to prop up expensive fossil fuels so Republicans can score points with their billionaire buddies. It’s just part of their agenda to serve their corporate interest friends – not everyday, hardworking Americans. Most of the bills we’re discussing today gut efficiency programs, make buildings use more energy, and raise costs for Americans." Source: Rep. Frank Pallone Jr., Ranking Member on the House Committee on Energy and Commerce (Democrat, New Jersey, District 6) 

•      "H.R. 5184, the Affordable Housing Over Mandating Efficiency Standards (HOMES) Act, would strip congressionally-directed authority from the Department of Energy for setting energy efficiency standards for manufactured homes, which includes mobile homes. Eliminating these money-saving standards would lock families living in manufactured homes into higher energy costs, increase electric grids’ strain, drive up long term utility and infrastructure expenses for ratepayers, and undermine proven solutions that keep living costs affordable. This bill disproportionately harms low income, rural, and senior households that rely on manufactured homes as both renters and owners." Source: League of Conservation Voters
