I have been reading up on this new bill and it seems like it aims to hold states accountable for their energy policies. This could potentially lead to more transparency and efficiency in how states handle their energy resources. However, I am concerned about how this bill may impact me personally as an independent voter. Who exactly benefits from this bill?

This bill is just another example of government overreach. It's ridiculous how they think they can control our energy usage. I don't see how this is going to benefit anyone in the long run. It's just going to make things more complicated and expensive for us regular folks. I'm not buying into this nonsense.
