During 'Energy Week,' House Republicans took legislative action aimed at reversing President Biden's energy policies, which they blame for surging gas prices, now surpassing $3.50 a gallon, and making the U.S. dependent on foreign energy sources. The GOP criticized the administration for depleting the Strategic Petroleum Reserve by over 40% and highlighted that the national average for a gallon of gas reached $5 in 2022. Legislation passed included the 'Restoring American Energy Dominance Act,' which seeks to increase domestic energy production and ease restrictions on oil and gas production on federal lands. Democrats countered, accusing Republicans of favoring fossil fuel interests over environmental and public health, pointing to efforts to undermine the Clean Water Act and the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund. Amidst the debate, there were calls from both sides for a greater focus on renewable energy sources and criticism of the 'rush-to-green' agenda.
The Biden Administration has taken millions of acres of public lands offline from energy production, locking up our resources where we should be drilling and mining. As a co-sponsor, I was proud to support @RepNewhouse resolution yesterday condemning these anti-American policies.
House Republicans are fighting to end Jode Biden’s failed Far Left anti-American energy agenda and the pain at the pump it is causing Americans. “Gas Prices Surpass $3.50 A Gallon For First Time Since October” https://t.co/lq473fk2W1
We just wrapped up another "Energy Week" in this House, in which Republicans brought forward bill after bill to help the fossil fuel industry and raise American's energy costs. Here's what I had to say ⬇️ https://t.co/w48L2dL8qq
Extreme MAGA Republicans continue their attack on historic programs in the Inflation Reduction Act that would combat the climate crisis and create economic opportunity for the American people. This week, I voted against several bad bills that put polluters over people by… https://t.co/S11SIc3siY
I voted no on the GOP’s energy bills this week that do nothing to help the American people—but a lot to benefit big polluters & oil companies. House Republicans put #PollutersOverPeople to the detriment of our environment & our public health. https://t.co/yY3xjRWdCo
Dems made historic investments in infrastructure, clean good-paying jobs, manufacturing We're seeing ribbon cuttings, factory openings, a boom in clean energy investment But House GOP are pushing bogus bills to double down on giveaways to Big Oil and kill good-paying clean jobs
This week, House Republicans passed bills that boost Big Oil's profits and eliminate environmental protections under the guise of “unleashing American energy”. In reality, under President Biden’s leadership, American energy production & renewables growth is at a record high. https://t.co/CKXdog3dK6
The Biden administration continues to play politics with energy and national security. Unleashing American energy is the way to bring down energy prices and reduce the power of hostile nations – while supporting our allies. https://t.co/IfMlKkt5su
I opposed six bills this week that would undo the progress we’ve made to tackle climate change and shut down clean energy projects across the country. While Republicans fail to address energy costs & protect our environment, Democrats are focused on America's clean energy future. https://t.co/wFh9UTIsvm
House Republicans just voted to defund our national climate bank, which is based on my bill and is the single-largest climate investment in the IRA. They’ll attack our economy and communities at any price, in the name of Big Oil backers. I’m ready to block this in the Senate.
House Republicans just voted to defund our national climate bank—based on my bill and the single-largest climate investment in the IRA. It’s clear they’ll attack our economy and communities at any price, in the name of their Big Oil backers. I’m ready to block this in the Senate.
My priority is solving problems that affect everyday Arizonans. One of our urgent needs is to make energy affordable for our families. I will help restore the America First energy policies that President Trump put in place that were scrapped by @JoeBiden & his Mini-Me… https://t.co/5UnctIbSQi
Today the House voted to repeal the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund—the 'Green Bank' we passed in the IRA to spur public & private innovation in clean energy while creating jobs & boosting our economy. I fought for this for 14 yrs. And you can bet I won’t let MAGA Rs stop us now.
American energy is the cleanest in the world. By attacking it, the admin is all but shoving other countries into the arms of our adversaries, who will happily sell their cheap, dirty energy. I stand w/ @HouseGOP in the fight to restore US energy dominance. https://t.co/TBJK1PUhhS
Today I voted for H.R. 1023, which repeals the EPA’s green bank slush fund, and proposed natural gas tax. This bill ensures that US taxpayer dollars are not being spent on Democrats' radical climate agenda, and supports the production of reliable, affordable, American energy. https://t.co/A10Mh00gpX
The @HouseGOP just wrapped up Energy Week by passing six commonsense bills to: - Restore U.S. energy dominance - Lower costs for families - Counter Joe Biden’s radical Green New Deal agenda. Here's what key energy stakeholders are saying:
A natural gas tax raises prices, hurts innovation, and fails to provide for Pennsylvania families. Today, I was proud to vote in favor of @USRepGaryPalmer's legislation to repeal this backward tax. https://t.co/JPNTul6OzA
Under the guise of “Energy Week,” Republicans are pushing legislation aimed at boosting Big Oil's profits. Meanwhile, @HouseDemocrats delivered last Congress with legislation to clean up their abandoned equipment, plug leaking wells, and transition to a clean energy future. https://t.co/GJShdiYZc3
I was proud to support my @housecommerce colleague @USRepGaryPalmer’s bill today repealing the EPA’s Green slush fund. We must undo Biden’s rush to priorities, especially the EPA’s harmful natural gas tax! https://t.co/yTeH9sSLwX
🚨The House just PASSED my legislation to repeal the Biden Administration’s harmful Natural Gas Tax. This tax would put energy producers out of business and drive costs up further. A huge win for American energy producers and workers! https://t.co/nYn8CyOwvh

While @HouseGOP cater to the interests of Big Oil during their so-called "Energy Week," real Americans are suffering the consequences of the #ClimateCrisis & their environmental destruction. @HouseDemocrats are putting #PeopleOverPolluters to ensure a #CleanEnergy future.
I voted against the Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act today because it is another Republican attempt this week to poison the environment and deny climate change. I will never support a bill that supports dangerous polluters over the American people. https://t.co/WT9C2gbNKB
Republicans' so-called "Energy Week" agenda attacks historic progress made by @HouseDemocrats to combat the climate crisis. I voted against every one of these misguided bills & will continue working to combat climate change, bolster clean energy, & protect our environment. https://t.co/vVIURr6HQz
I appreciate the support of my colleagues in passing the Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act. This is a major step towards securing American energy and reducing energy costs. This is a win for the American people! https://t.co/QtfTj5Adgv
✅ JUST PASSED: H.R. 1023, the Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act. H.R. 1023 would rescind the EPA’s $27 BILLION "Green New Deal" slush fund and repeal the administration’s disastrous proposed natural gas tax. Americans are sick and tired of their hard-earned tax dollars… https://t.co/m56SzvgFBD
Today I fought Republicans’ shameless bill to REPEAL two landmark Inflation Reduction Act programs that drive down pollution, lower energy bills, and invest directly in our communities. This bill is nothing but a giveaway to Republicans’ corporate polluter friends. https://t.co/d4FSrYGQVV
H.R. 1023 helps lower energy costs and unleash American energy by repealing Biden and Congressional Democrats' $27 billion slush fund and the natural gas tax put in place by their misnamed "Inflation Reduction Act." I urge my colleagues to vote yes on this important legislation. https://t.co/QmqHcZM4kq
Last Congress, @HouseDemocrats invested billions in our local communities to lower energy bills, create millions of jobs, and hold Big Oil accountable. @HouseGOP is trying to stop that money before it reaches our communities—all in the interest of their polluter friends. https://t.co/AxJIZIIH8S
It's shameful that @HouseGOP keeps doing the bidding of Big Oil at the expense of the American people. We deserve a cleaner future, instead of a MAGA majority that is putting polluters over people with their so-called “Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act".
H.R. 1023, the Cutting Green Corruption and Taxes Act, is an important step towards ending the President’s radical rush-to-green agenda. https://t.co/dK04mfdnPm
H.R. 1023—which repeals the @EPA’s $27 billion-dollar green bank and it’s recently proposed natural gas tax—is an important step towards ending the President’s radical rush-to-green agenda. https://t.co/TU26kGLeMc
.@HouseGOP is hard at work for their special interest friends… again. Their “Energy Agenda” is chock full of handouts to Big Oil & Gas that: 🚫Block investments for our communities 🧾Force taxpayers to foot the bill for methane leaks 🔥Rob the American people of a clean future https://t.co/F3jwpgso2Q
H.R. 1023 will repeal the @EPA's harmful natural gas tax, which is a tax on EVERY part of our lives. https://t.co/3r1RcpjGmo
On the House Floor → H.R. 1023 to repeal the @EPA’s $27B green bank and natural gas tax.
President Biden’s “climate” agenda has caused electricity and fuel prices to skyrocket, has jeopardized our grid security, and has forced America to be dependent on adversarial nations. Enough is enough. House Republicans condemn the Biden Admin’s anti-American energy policies.
The House just passed H.Res. 987 from @RepNewhouse to push back on Joe Biden’s anti-fossil-fuel policies. These policies are indeed terrible. Candidate Biden recklessly promised: "I will end fossil fuel." As President, he has restricted fossil fuel investment, production, and… https://t.co/npyN4qG49R
Biden's war on domestic energy has been catastrophic to Americans. Since he took office. the price of gasoline is up 33%, home heating oil is up 44%, and electricity and natural gas are up 29%. We have to increase domestic energy production to lower these costs for families. https://t.co/MCdL5zRQ4X
Our nation can be energy-independent and have the most affordable energy in the world. Yet the Biden administration continues to stand in the way of American energy businesses and workers. https://t.co/YTgAEBevBU
Extreme GOP's "Energy Week" is Energy Weak, hitting new lows in climate obstructionism. Not only are they scheming to roll back the Clean Water Act but also undermine our transition to clean energy. I voted against these attacks favoring big polluters over American families.
Since Biden took office, he: ❌ Killed the Keystone XL pipeline ❌ Paused all pending approvals of LNG export terminals ❌ Restricted the production of gas-powered vehicles ❌ Drained the emergency-use SPR Today, @HouseGOP passed one of my cosponsored resolutions condemning his…
The Clean Water Act was enacted to protect our waterways and access to clean drinking water. However, radical environmentalists use it to block permits for critical infrastructure projects. I voted YES to improve regulatory transparency to help American innovators thrive. https://t.co/HNHTAgfevX
Under the guise of “Energy Week,” Republicans are pushing legislation aimed at boosting Big Oil's profits. Meanwhile, the legislation that @HouseDemocrats delivered last Congress continues to invest in our local communities, developing clean energy and creating millions of jobs. https://t.co/Fmmj5uqvPj
This week, House Republicans have been pushing back on Biden’s radical green energy agenda. I am committed to protecting American energy and industry and stopping the unnecessary regulations that the Biden Administration is placing on the American people. https://t.co/dOZW0aVPuh
Don’t believe @POTUS has launched a war on American energy? The facts: 🛢️Halted new LNG exports, empowering countries like Russia and Iran 🛢️Halted oil/gas leases 🛢️Killed the Keystone XL pipeline 🛢️Working to ban gas stoves & gas-powered vehicles @HouseGOP is fighting back 👇 https://t.co/Zxj5wMkAD0
.@HouseGOP is set on undermining the Clean Water Act. I voted against their dangerous legislation that makes it easier for big corporations to pollute our waterways. I’ll always fight to protect clean water for North Carolina’s families, farmers, and communities.
Republicans' so-called "Clean Water Permitting Act" is nothing but a giveaway to corporate polluters pumping toxins into our air & drinking water with ZERO accountability. Representing Western PA where we have some of the dirtiest air & lead exposure in the country, I vote NO. https://t.co/xoyGBOSm5Q
The Biden Administration has taken millions of acres of public lands offline from energy production, locking up our resources when we should be drilling and mining here. I proudly voted yes on @RepNewhouse’s resolution condemning these anti-development policies. https://t.co/w6ZSbDju1s
March 21st is #NationalRenewableEnergyDay! Today would be a great day for @POTUS to UNLEASH American energy!
House Republicans claim it’s “Energy Week.” Their agenda? Putting the interests of the fossil fuel industry over those of the American people. I'm working to invest in a resilient clean energy future that will create high-quality jobs across the country. https://t.co/UOgv09rUAV
❌Gas prices are up ❌LNG exports are cut off ❌20 million households are behind on utilities Because of the inflationary impact of Pres. Biden’s war on American energy, I supported @westerncaucus Chairman @RepNewhouse’s resolution to denounce his harmful policies.
Today a bipartisan group condemned @POTUS’ destructive energy policies that have crushed domestic production, killed American jobs & driven up the cost of electricity & gas for families & businesses. Under Biden, Americans have seen the largest price 📈 of the last 7 Presidents.
Why are we debating a bill to gut the Clean Water Act during Republicans' "Energy Week"? Well, because Team Extreme's week has nothing to do with actual energy or clean water policies – it's all just part of their Polluters Over People 2.0 agenda. Enough with this gaslighting. https://t.co/l26Cs0fjFJ
Under the guise of "Energy Week," House Republicans are pushing legislation that puts polluters' interests over those of the American people. I'm voting NO on their harmful giveaways to fossil fuel companies that will undermine the progress we've made towards a greener future. https://t.co/APSX5hYEpd
Americans elected the @HouseGOP majority to counteract Biden’s anti-American energy agenda, and once again, we are delivering. It’s a shame Democrats would rather appease the Green New Deal activists in their party than restore U.S. energy dominance and lower costs for families.
This week, extreme Republicans are doubling down on harmful policies that put polluters and their profits over the people they serve. I’m standing up against their attempts to roll back climate protections and undermine the progress we’ve made. https://t.co/4rgW2XjcDh
The Biden Administration’s energy policies have put America’s energy security in the hands of our foreign adversaries. We must put America first and advance commonsense solutions to combat this administration’s misguided energy policies. https://t.co/w9ovAGMavf
Geothermal energy is a key part of our growing clean energy economy, and I'm working to support new projects that will power our communities and create good-paying jobs right here in Nevada. https://t.co/j1fufODfwr
My resolution denouncing President Biden's anti-American energy policies just PASSED the House. We are working to reverse these out-of-touch policies and get our domestic energy production back on track. https://t.co/3mhO5agoxh
House Republicans are committed to unshackling American energy—it's the only real way to substantially lower costs for working families. Mandates, gimmicks, and platitudes from the left won't cut it. https://t.co/7YOGkcqT5H
The Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund is a slush fund of taxpayer money for the Biden administration to fund its special interest friends and advance a radical rush-to-green agenda. 💸 @USRepGaryPalmer's H.R. 1023 will repeal and rescind @EPA's green bank. https://t.co/34ys0MQA8K
This Administration's energy policy has been great news for our adversaries and bad news for the American people. I joined @WesternCaucus Chairman @RepNewhouse in denouncing the President's anti-American energy actions. https://t.co/8iFEx22cbe
🚨 "This resolution denounces the Biden Administration’s anti-American energy policies that are designed to slow and kill domestic production as a gift to extreme activists." Chairman @RepNewhouse spoke about fighting the Biden Admin's anti-American energy agenda! WATCH ⬇️ https://t.co/duH1LhI0XI
For far too long, the federal government has abused the Clean Water Act to stall critical infrastructure and energy projects. H.R. 7023 will end the weaponization of the Clean Water Act by making commonsense reforms to cut red tape and streamline the permitting process.
This week on the House Floor, MAGA Republicans are prioritizing polluters' profits over people's health and economic well-being. With @POTUS' partnership, @HouseDemocrats are leading in the fight to combat the climate crisis and support our transition to a clean energy economy. https://t.co/3Zw5oBijMN
Happy #NationalRenewableEnergyDay from EERE! It’s a fact: the transition to a clean energy economy will enhance the lives of all Americans. https://t.co/68vGRXXgQ0
I spoke on the House floor against the so-called “Restoring America’s Energy Dominance Act.” We should focus on cleaner, cheaper, and safer domestic renewable energy sources, not shamelessly give away our public lands to Big Oil companies. See my remarks here: https://t.co/P2EpdcHGX3
On #NationalRenewableEnergyDay, I’m proud to be an advocate for #Geothermal energy production. @RepSusieLee and I have a bill to unleash this clean, sustainable energy source, creating jobs and boosting our economy. More 👇 https://t.co/LnFBUwJUq6
The GOP's so-called “Energy Week” is nothing more than a thinly veiled attempt to put polluters’ interests over those of the American people. It’s time to put #PeopleOverPolluters.
Gas prices started rising the day @JoeBiden took office- when he canceled the Keystone Pipeline and halted new drilling on federal lands. Yesterday, the House passed the Restoring American Energy Dominance Act. It’s time to unleash American energy! https://t.co/K94Q5y8Www
I’m in Congress to represent working families and seniors in southern Nevada – not Big Oil & Gas. That’s why I’m working toward a diverse, clean, and efficient energy economy that unleashes our state’s energy potential while lowering costs and protecting our public lands.
Once again, the @HouseGOP is ripping into your wallets. My neighbors want lower electric bills and to save their money. They want cleaner, cheaper energy. They want Congress to have their best interest in mind, not Big Oil and Gas. https://t.co/LdHcolbfBd
President Biden has sold almost 40% of our Strategic Petroleum Reserve since he took office. Our oil reserves are meant to be used in times of national emergencies, not to score cheap political points.
Over the years we've seen the Clean Water Act (CWA) weaponized to delay permits & prevent critical infrastructure & energy projects from moving forward. T&I Chairman @RepSamGraves talks about the importance of passing #HR7023 to restore & reform CWA permitting processes: https://t.co/BSs1okYOzz
Friendly reminder that Biden has depleted our Strategic Petroleum Reserve by over 40%. It's now sitting at its lowest levels since the early 1980’s. Energy security is national security. Biden must end his war on American energy.
Happy #RenewableEnergyDay! ♻️ I’m leading the HEATS Act to boost geothermal energy & doing my part to foster an all-of-the-above energy approach to diversify our energy supply, expand resources, secure supply chains, lower costs, & reduce emissions.
Utahns are feeling the impact of President Biden's war on American energy: Cost to heat a family home ⬆️ 33% Cost to fill up a tank of gas ⬆️ 40% @HouseGOP is delivering solutions to reverse the president's misguided energy agenda and drive down costs for families. https://t.co/4OEGXSMEyr
On #NationalRenewableEnergyDay, let us recommit to harnessing the power of renewable energy to combat the #climatecrisis. By supporting innovations in renewable energy, we can create more economic opportunity, strengthen our supply chains, and secure a healthy future for all.
I voted to pass the “Restoring American Energy Dominance Act” to block the Biden Administration’s proposed rule that would significantly restrict oil and gas production on federal land. It’s time to end Biden’s war on American Energy production. https://t.co/a78qiTSVYW
In my home state of Washington, the average cost for a gallon of gas is nearly $4.35 per gallon. @HouseGOP is leading to unleash American energy and reverse the consequences of President Biden’s war on American energy.

American families are paying the price of the Biden Administration’s energy agenda every day, whether at the gas pump or with electricity bills. Yesterday, @HouseGOP passed two bills that will fight to unleash American energy dominance & ensure affordable energy solutions.
Unaffordable grocery costs, gas, and electricity bills are the result of the Biden administration’s war on American energy. American energy is foundational to everything we do across our ENTIRE economy.
I fully support @RepDavidRouzer's Creating Confidence in Clean Water Permitting Act which increases transparency to protect clean water and streamlines the permitting processes for energy producers by cutting burdensome red tape.
Joe Biden cares more about appeasing radical climate change activists than protecting the millions of oil and gas workers and producers in America. The House passed my bill with bipartisan support to block one of his attacks on American energy dominance. https://t.co/QMhvKUXBH7
2022 was the first time in history the national average for a gallon of gas reached $5, thanks to Biden’s insane energy restrictions we’re on our way back to $5. The cost-of-living is already sky high; the American people cannot afford any more of this insanity!
We have a good, clean supply of oil beneath our feet, but @JoeBiden & @RubenGallego have made America dependent on overseas interests to satisfy our energy needs. For the first time in my lifetime, President Trump made us energy DOMINANT. With Trump & his America First policies… https://t.co/lgEvlMOlgL
Surging gas prices are a direct result of the Biden administration’s catastrophic policies. That’s why this week @HouseGOP is voting on critical legislation to restore U.S. energy independence. Energy security is national security. https://t.co/HMGtw9flRn
