#shorts On 1/26/2023, On 1/26/2023, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said, “we go even further and say, ‘Mr. President, with this bill, H.R. 21, if you’re going to raid our reserves, won’t you at least put forward a plan to show how you will replace it? And don’t worry, I know the White House gets nervous when you tell them that you’ve got to produce energy in America. They don’t have a problem, again, with foreign countries producing energy. They just don’t want it made in America.

“They use the tagline a lot. You hear it all the time, ‘Made in America.’ Except when it comes to making energy, they don’t want to make it in America. They make it harder to make it in America. They beg foreign countries to make our energy.

“This bill gives an exemption: ‘Except in the case of a severe energy supply interruption.’ So the President still has the ability, if there’s some actual emergency, to use the Strategic Petroleum Reserve the way it was intended in the 1970s. All this bill says is if your bad policy is leading to higher gas prices, and people are getting angry about that, as they should. You can’t go and raid it unless you show a plan.”

On 1/26/2023, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) delivered a speech on the House Floor in support of the Strategic Production Response Act, which would require the Biden Administration to stop their abuse of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) and increase oil and gas production to offset any additional drawdowns. Leader Scalise slammed the Biden Administration’s reckless decision to raid the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and for issuing a veto threat on the bill. Additionally, Leader Scalise highlighted how President Biden’s radical climate policies have raised gas prices and made the United States more reliant on foreign countries for oil.
