House nears vote for GOP’s energy package

House Republicans are expected to pass one of their biggest legislative priorities this week: a sprawling party-line energy package. The bill includes some of the GOP’s most popular energy policies and pitches from the past decade, while also taking aim at President Joe Biden’s climate policies. The package is considered an opening negotiating pitch by Republicans on energy permitting — a rare policy area that they hope will lead to a bipartisan deal. POLITICO’s Josh Siegel breaks down the details of the bill and the state of play of negotiations. Plus, Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said the Biden administration will release its delayed five-year offshore oil and gas leasing plan in September.
