Congressman Fulcher Co-Sponsors Resolution Denouncing President Biden’s Energy Policies.
WASHINGTON D.C. - U.S. Congressman Russ Fulcher co-sponsored H.Res. 987, denouncing the harmful, anti-American Energy Policies of the Biden administration to stand up for the U.S. energy sector.
“President Biden has been at war with U.S. energy production since his first day in office,” Congressman Fulcher said. “From canceling the construction of the Keystone Pipeline, revoking leases for mining outfits across the West, and his newest ban on Liquified Natural Gas exports, Biden is dismantling our nation's energy independence.”
H.Res. 987 encourages the domestic production of clean and reliable energy while placing the blame for rising energy costs across the country on President Biden.
The resolution states in May of 2023, nearly 20 million U.S. households were behind on their utility bills because of rising energy prices. Which increased 37.2 percent in Biden’s first 26 months in office.
“There is a gold mine of natural resources at our fingertips that would bring billions of dollars to our economy, provide thousands of jobs to Americans, and lower energy costs across the U.S.,” Congressman Fulcher said. “I am a co-sponsor of H.Res 987 as it is time the Biden administration prioritizes the well-being of Americans over the flawed ideologies in the Green New Deal.”
