What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill gets rid of several government programs run by the Department of Energy, including a rebate program that helped lower- and middle-income households pay for electric home upgrades, a grant program that trained home energy efficiency contractors, and a program that helped state and local governments adopt certain building energy codes. It also takes back any leftover money that was set aside for the rebate program and the building energy codes program.

Most people don't realize that 99% of international internet traffic runs through undersea cables. Protecting this infrastructure is critical. Strong YES.
Good bipartisan bill. Securing critical communications infrastructure shouldn't be controversial across party lines.
After seeing what happened to the Nord Stream pipelines, I'm glad Congress is finally taking undersea infrastructure seriously.
The penalties in this bill don't go far enough. Deliberate sabotage of undersea cables should carry mandatory minimum sentences.
