Westerman, Barrasso Lead Amicus Brief to Restart Energy Production in Gulf of Mexico
Statement
Issues: Oil and Gas Natural Resources
"President Biden is crushing American energy every way he can. He is inventing new and destructive ways to target oil and natural gas in our country. The Gulf of Mexico alone is responsible for 15 percent of total U.S. crude oil production. President Biden is strangling American energy in this region of the country with bureaucratic red tape. The Democrats' mission to cut off American energy production will send energy prices even higher. President Biden is yet again prioritizing liberal extremism over affordable and reliable American energy."
