Scalise: increasing American energy production that will somehow raise gas prices?

#shorts On 1/26/2023, On 1/26/2023, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said, “this is crushing middle class families. It’s crushing lower-income families. And so what we say is, ‘Let’s just use our resources. The President actually goes on to say – and this might be the most perplexing part of the President’s veto threat, probably explains the most why the President is so misguided on energy policy. He says, because H.R. 21 will jeopardize our energy security and increase gas prices for working families, the administration strongly opposes the bill. So somehow, some of the energy experts at the White House – again, some of the same people that fly around in private planes to Davos telling you not to use fossil fuels – they think that by increasing American energy production that will somehow raise gas prices.

“Well, guess what? We’ve checked the record. These are the same experts whose policies have increased gas prices, not a little, but 50 percent. So the White House has been wrong on this issue over and over again to the point where we had such a strong bipartisan vote last week. Let’s put up another strong bipartisan vote and maybe wake the people up at the White House to what’s happening in the real world. “

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.
