The closure of Cleveland-Cliffs Butler Works steel plant and Weirton Steel, affecting 1,300 and 900 workers respectively, has sparked controversy over the Department of Energy's rules under Secretary Jennifer Granholm's leadership. The decisions, attributed to the Biden administration's environmental policies, have prompted House Oversight Chairman Comer to invite Granholm to testify before the committee on May 15. This move aims to address concerns over economic impacts and energy costs associated with these policies, particularly noting that over 10,000 people worked at Weirton Steel in West Virginia.
Comer invites Energy Sec Granholm to appear at hearing on May 15 to discuss what he terms "misuse" of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and the paus on LNG exports
🚨 @GOPoversight has worked expeditiously to expose the Biden Administration’s radical environmental policies and unchecked regulations that have jeopardized economic opportunities & raised energy costs. Americans deserve to hear directly from DOE @SecGranholm.👇 https://t.co/eTy6BhnvkP

Today's closure is an absolute blow to our hardworking West Virginia steelworkers & the Weirton community. More than 10,000 people worked at Weirton Steel 30 years ago. Today, the last 900 workers just lost their jobs. Victims of President Biden & Democrats' Green agenda. 1/3 https://t.co/LtvgWzbnWG
Per @TedAFischer photo of last lineup at Cleveland Cliff’s Weirton Steel Plant that employed 1OK workers from PA West Virginia & Ohio at 1 time. It’s so heartbreaking the collateral damage this has on communities. Biden admin ITC decision led to closure https://t.co/ltNrbv49W1 https://t.co/GlzIrSd8Ds
