#shorts On 1/25/2023, on how the Strategic Production Response Act bolsters U.S. energy production, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) said, “Nobody makes energy in the world cleaner than the United States of America. So stop flying Air Force One to Saudi Arabia and other countries, begging Russia to produce energy, when we can make it here cleaner, better, lower in the cost, and creating really good jobs in America.
“But in the meantime, we’ve got a Strategic Petroleum Reserve for a reason. It’s there for emergencies. It’s not there to mask the President’s bad energy policies. It’s there in times of need, and this President’s raided more than 40 percent of that reserve. This bill just says if you’re going to raid the reserve, show a plan on how you’re going to replenish it. And why the White House would issue a veto threat on that boggles, I think, the mind of most common sense people. But unfortunately, that’s what we’ve seen commonplace from this administration.
“Obviously, there are a lot of other issues like the debt ceiling that the Whip talked about that we are deeply interested in solving.”
On 1/25/2023, Scalise joined Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Congressman August Pfluger (R-Texas), and Congresswoman Lori Chavez-DeRemer (R-Ore.) at today’s leadership press conference to discuss President Biden’s raids on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and his failed energy policies. Leader Scalise slammed President Biden for issuing a veto threat on the Strategic Production Response Act, which protects our country’s reserves in case of an emergency. Leader Scalise highlighted how President Biden’s policies have put our national security at risk and made the United States dependent on foreign nations for energy sources. Additionally, Leader Scalise called out the Biden Administration for shutting down U.S. energy production under the guise of climate activism when America produces the cleanest energy in the world.
