Key Points

Would limit how the President can use Defense Production Act powers when dealing with domestic energy supplies, except for environmental protection.
Would bar the President from denying certain Defense Production Act financial support (for non-energy production) just because a company works with fossil fuels.
Could affect which companies qualify for government-backed loans or investments tied to national needs, even if those companies also explore, produce, transport, or sell fossil fuels.
Supporters may say it stops “blacklisting” fossil-fuel-linked firms; critics may worry it makes it harder to steer support away from fossil fuels except on environmental grounds.
