ICYMI: U.S. Senator Katie Britt Attends White House Roundtable on Affordable Energy

WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Senator Katie Britt (R-Ala.) yesterday joined a White House roundtable to discuss President Trump's Ratepayer Protection Pledge. She joined President Trump, who led the roundtable, along with Energy Secretary Chris Wright, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), several Republican colleagues, and major tech companies who agreed to the Ratepayer Protection Pledge.

On President Trump tackling both continued U.S. dominance in the AI race and lowering energy costs for families across the nation:

"This is something that we've not only just talked about obviously on the national stage, but we've been talking about and wrestling within Alabama as well. Look, we understand the need to when the AI race and you have made sure that America is put first in every category, and that means that we dominate there and we do it in a way, though, that helps everyday Americans. So, when we're looking at their safety and security and what that will ultimately prevail there, we don't want to do it at the expense of ratepayers.

"And you, (President Trump), once again, have taken an incredibly complex problem that everybody wants to talk about, and you actually found a solution. You found a win/win. We're not only going to win the AI race as a result of what you're doing today, but you have said to every American, to every Alabamian I see you and we're going to make sure that your energy costs not only does not go up as a result, but you even said today, with the added capacity, that it's actually going to go down."

On the companies in attendance who have taken the Ratepayer Protection Pledge:

"And in addition to all of that, just want to say thank you to you, (tech companies), for being willing to be good community partners, that's what makes all of this work. So, the communities that you will ultimately reside in, you were saying, we want to build you up in every sense of the word, giving you greater opportunity as a result of this pledge today. So, Mr. President, thank you for making sure that Americans were put first and that this progress is not at their expense, but is rather to their benefit."
