10/05/2022 Tweet - "The Biden admin going hat in hand to Saudi Arabia & other oil-producing countries is the price for its ongoing assault against American-made energy. In just a few short years, America went from energy independence to this. It's time to reverse course."
10/05/2022 Tweet - ". @POTUS has depleted the Strategic Petroleum Reserve to its lowest levels since 1984. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve is meant for emergencies, not to provide political cover because the president's energy policies have undermined our domestic supply and raised prices."

03/09/2022 Tweet - "President Biden should take every step possible to curb rising domestic energy costs and displace banned Russian oil imports. A no-cost, immediate step he can take: Permitting the sale of E15 fuel this summer. A win/win to help lower gas prices & support American ag."

03/03/2022 Tweet - "We need pipelines, not pipe dreams. Affordable electric vehicles are years away from being widely available enough to reduce dependence on liquid fuel. President Biden, bring back American energy dominance."
