“I’ve worked hard to incorporate the feedback we’ve heard from Tribes and New Mexicans into this Substitute Amendment, and I’m proud to join my colleagues in releasing it today. The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act will help lower energy costs, strengthen Tribal consultation, and create more good-paying jobs. It also makes sure data centers pay for the energy they use and the grid upgrades they cause, instead of passing those costs on to New Mexico families. Americans can’t afford to wait for lower electricity prices. We need to pass this bill now,”
