WASHINGTON, DC— Today, Rep. Jodey C. Arrington (TX-19) led 20 of his Republican colleagues in sending a letter to President Biden urging him to decrease our dependence on foreign energy and reduce the regulatory burden on our domestic energy producers.

“As Europe contends with the consequences of their dependence on Russia for reliable energy, it is evident that America’s vast energy resources are a vital and strategic asset in countering Russia’s aggression. As you implore oil and gas producers around the world to increase production, it is imperative that you publicly and unambiguously show support for U.S. oil and natural gas production and exportation.

This demands more than just a change in your Administration’s rhetoric. It will require a reversal in your Administration’s legislative, regulatory, and environmental agendas which have punitively targeted oil and gas producers without scientific justification or meaningful sanctions on unregulated oil and gas producers throughout the world. In fact, you continue to allow uninhibited and nefarious international actors to expand their carbon footprint and unregulated energy production while handicapping cleaner and safer energy production at home.

Few things are as urgent and important as providing energy security to American consumers and our allies abroad. Unleashing the full power of American oil and gas production is paramount to protecting American energy independence and providing Europe and our allies with much-needed affordable and abundant energy.”
