New Oil and Gas Leasing Rules Will Shut Down American Energy Production Across the U.S.

Statement

A key promise in House Republicans' Commitment to America is to make sure Americans have access to affordable, reliable energy. That's why we passed H.R. 1 to bring down prices for families and ensure we continue to be a global leader in reducing emissions by expanding the production of clean, affordable, and reliable energy. The Biden administration is shutting down America's abundant energy resources. These new rules--along with President Biden's recent announcement to pause offshore leases in the Gulf of Mexico--are just the latest instances of anti-American energy policies from this administration. The reality is these efforts are making life more expensive and harder for families, straining our electric grid, and leading us towards a dangerous dependence on China. The best way to lower costs for people and strengthen America's energy, climate, and economic leadership is by unleashing the energy resources we have here at home.
