WASHINGTON - Today, House Committee on Oversight and Reform Ranking Member James Comer (R-Ky.) released the following statement on Democrats’ oil and gas report:
In November, Oversight Committee Republicans issued a report outlining how the Biden Administration and Democrats have promoted anti-American energy policies, demonized domestic energy producers, and failed to produce a comprehensive plan to address high energy prices and ongoing marketplace shortages impacting the American people.
In December, Ranking Member Comer launched a broad probe into President Biden’s energy crisis that is harming the pocketbooks of Americans. He called on senior leadership at the U.S. Department of Energy, Department of State, Environmental Protection Agency, and the Securities and Exchange Commission to provide information related to the Biden Administration’s strategy to address high energy prices, abuse of strategic oil reserves, President Biden’s secret deal with Saudi Arabia to lower gas prices before the election, and the implementation of radical Green New Deal policies that drive up costs for American consumers
