2023 Scorecard Vote
Representative Lauren Boebert (R-CO) sponsored an amendment to H.R. 1, the so-called Lower Energy Costs Act, to express disapproval of the denial of permits for the Jordan Cove Project - a proposed liquefied natural gas (LNG) export terminal in the Port of Coos Bay, Oregon by Calgary-based energy company Pembina. Oregon rejected Pembina’s permit applications because this LNG export terminal and fracked gas pipeline project would harm water quality, risk the health and safety of frontline communities, worsen climate change, and undermine landowner rights. On March 29, the House approved the Boebert amendment by a vote of 221-208 (House roll call vote 167). The House passed H.R. 1 on March 30. The Senate took no action on this legislation.
