On 5/19/2022, During Sec. Haaland’s testimony before the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee, the Dept. of Interior released a press release that Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) took as confirmation that the department has no intention of conducting offshore lease sales, “It looks like Y’all are going to shut everything down. Did you know you all put this out? … My god somebody, this shuts it down. This shows what your intent is.”
Sec. Haaland seemed to be unaware the statement was being released, let alone in the middle of the hearing, “I’m sorry, I’m sitting in this hearing, I don’t…” Haaland told the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources that her agency plans to release a proposal for its next five-year plan for offshore oil and gas leasing by the end of June – a timeline that would likely lead to a gap between the current plan and a new one.
Haaland’ staff furiously scripts notes for Interior Sec. Haaland while she “filibusters” during hearing. Haaland refuses to answer if gas prices are too high. “The President says he wants his administration to encourage more American energy,” said Sen. John Barrasso, a Republican from Wyoming. “Instead your department, Madam Secretary, stalls, postpones and kills oil and natural gas lease sales. Your department is undermining domestic energy production, not expediting it.” Haaland can’t say if it’s better to produce oil in us than Venezuela not an economist.

Biden’s Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm says gas prices “will continue to rise a bit”, she casually admits gas will “definitely remain above $4”. Despite record gas prices, Sec. Granholm says Biden wants to “accelerate” anti-energy agenda.
