House Oversight Republicans on Tuesday traveled to north Texas, where they both mocked and attacked President Joe Biden’s energy policies, with particular focus on oil production and the natural gas export permitting pause.
It was an all-Republican affair, with no Democrats making the trip to defend the administration’s actions.
Republicans claimed Biden regulations were spiking the price of eggs at the market and gasoline at the pump. Lawmakers also touched on the recent restriction of oil development on Alaska’s North Slope and the American Climate Corps.
The hearing of the Oversight and Accountability Subcommittee on Economic Growth, Energy Policy and Regulatory Affairs was the second time in just a few weeks that Republicans have traveled to Texas to defend the oil and gas industry.
