Texas Congressman Blasts Biden Energy Policy-And The Misinformation He Continues To Repeat

(Washington, DC) — President Biden is pushing U.S. oil and gas companies to increase their production, as a way to bring down the price at the pump-after reportedly discussing buying oil form Iran and Venezuela. But Texas Republican Congressman Dan Crenshaw Biden wants to have it both ways. This comes after the U.S. stopped importing Russian oil, in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine. The White House misleadingly says that U.S. oil companies pumped more crude in his first year than under the first year of the Trump administration–that would be following the Obama-Biden years, before Trump’s policies took effect. Trump brought energy independence in 2019 and 2020 that Biden stifled. Congressman Dan Crenshaw says production has not increased because the White House has been punishing the fossil fuel industry and it has had a chilling effect.
