Several politicians, including Rep. Barragan and Sen. Schumer, are speaking out against Big Oil companies for colluding with OPEC, harming American wallets, public health, and the climate. They are calling for accountability and affordable clean energy access. Investigations and legislative actions are being pursued to address concerns of price gouging, subsidies, and collusion with foreign cartels.
Americans shouldn’t be forced to pay for corporate greed at the gas pump. That’s why I’ve launched an investigation into concerns that oil companies may be colluding to drive up gas prices for their own profit. The American people deserve answers. https://t.co/DbpNNaMXb6
Opinion | Through multiple regulations the Biden administration is attempting impose electrification on Americans and to end the use of fossil fuels. But EVs, electric water heaters, and electric stoves don’t operate during blackouts. https://t.co/F9m6pA9e86
Big Oil loves to say they need to buy up our public lands to keep gas prices low — I call BS. Now, with reports that they’re colluding with foreign cartels to keep production down — and your gas prices UP — the truth is becoming clear. My colleagues & I demand an investigation. https://t.co/wnk63Q6KaD
For too long, Big Oil has gotten away with promoting climate disinformation to elevate profits over public health. RM @RepRaskin is now urging the Justice Department to finally hold these companies accountable. https://t.co/y40xi5W2dh https://t.co/K2ZmS4BaB9
Billions of taxpayer dollars shouldn’t be going to fossil fuel companies who are fueling a global climate crisis. I'm proud to join @SenSanders and @Ilhan to introduce this legislation to end handouts to the fossil fuel industry. https://t.co/MAmJsMOBJC
In an effort to cater to Green New Deal climate activists, this administration has created an unworkable permitting and environmental review process that has dealt a near-fatal blow to domestic energy production, especially out west. Read my full op-ed. ⬇️ https://t.co/CJl9vkkamz
American taxpayers pay Big Oil billions of dollars a year in subsidies, all while they pollute our environment, endanger our public health, & rip off consumers. That's why I cosponsored the End Polluter Welfare Act to end these subsidies and give Americans more options for… https://t.co/KmQhvkQVoW
I applaud @GOPoversight for calling out @JoeBiden's attacks on American-made energy. Biden is fueling the affordability crisis and threatening our grid reliability. Montana stands with you in opposing the radical green energy agenda. 1/5
I am leading my colleagues in demanding oil and gas companies end their profiteering and price gouging. Big Oil is raking it in—inflating prices, suppressing worker wages, and stripping away our chance at a livable future. It's time to end our fossil fuel addiction. https://t.co/Ex9lWC0C8M
Consumers deserve to know the truth about Big Oil's dirty energy price gouging. Chair Westerman needs to let us investigate allegations that US oil execs colluded with OPEC to hike prices & pad company profits at the expense of taxpayers. https://t.co/nIYPTA4eoD
At every opportunity, Republicans have put polluters over people to give their Big Oil friends more handouts. Rain or shine, Congressional Democrats will continue showing up to hold these greedy oil companies accountable for stealing from the American people. https://t.co/mSfnhgqPnr
Big Oil is a big perpetrator of stock buybacks. It's bad for the economy. It's bad for workers. It shows they’re just raising stock prices instead of investing in new energy. I'm standing with @SenMarkey, @ClimatePower, and more to hold Big Oil accountable. https://t.co/tJNQ5LIH7y
While Big Oil companies take record profits, hardworking Americans are feeling high prices at the pump. Meanwhile, Trump promised Big Oil he’ll gut clean energy investments and jobs in exchange for $1B for his reelection. Democrats will keep working to hold Big Oil accountable. https://t.co/F0pKx9Scwx
Big Oil’s collusion w/OPEC not only harms American’s wallets, but our public health and climate. Proud to join @SenSchumer, @EdMarkey, @RepJoeNeguse, & @RepKamlagerDove to call out this corruption & fight to give Americans access to affordable clean energy & clean air. https://t.co/0kuQzgsGfm
