H. R. 8161, also known as the “Electric Act,” aims to stop the Secretary of the Interior and the Secretary of the Army from closing down any energy generation sources, like hydropower dams, if doing so would cause electricity rates to rise by more than 10% or decrease energy...
Simple Explanation
The bill wants to make sure energy places, like big dams, don't shut down if it means people will have to pay a lot more for electricity or if the lights might not work as well. If they do close, they have to be replaced with something just as strong to keep the power on and prices low.
