House Republicans on March 14 introduced a new reform package aimed at restoring America’s energy independence, though Democrats have already signaled it will face challenges passing through a divided Congress.

The nearly 200-page bill (pdf), known as H.R. 1 or the “Lower Energy Costs Act,” was initially announced by House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) last week but it was officially introduced on March 14.
