What it means: Small business supports legislation to provide better access to affordable and reliable energy. NFIB sent a letter to Congress in support of the Energy Choice Act.
Expert take: “The cost of energy remains a top issue impacting our nation’s small businesses,” said Louis Bertolotti, Principal of Federal Government Relations. “To encourage the use of certain energy sources over others, states and municipalities throughout the country have implemented burdensome restrictions that have decreased access to affordable, reliable energy sources.”

The cost of energy has been a rising concern for years, consistently ranking as one of the top issues for small business owners. NFIB sent a letter of support to Congress for the Energy Choice Act, which will allow small businesses to have better access to affordable and reliable energy.
The Energy Choice Act prohibits state and local governments from banning energy services based on the type or source of energy. “This legislation will prevent one-size-fits-all mandates from wreaking further havoc on small businesses and their local economies as electricity demands continue to break peak records,” said Bertolotti.
NFIB’s latest Problems and Priorities survey ranked the cost of natural gas, propane, gasoline, diesel, and fuel oil as the sixth most pressing issue and electricity as the tenth. Read the full letter of support to Congress for additional information on the Energy Choice Act and what it means for small businesses.
Take Action: Connect with your representatives and let them know how rising energy costs affect your small business.
