Leader Rodgers: High Energy Costs are a Direct Result of Biden's War on American Energy

Press Release

House Energy and Commerce Republican Leader Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) released the following statement in response to President Biden again trying to shift blame away from his energy crisis that is making life unaffordable for American families.

"Yet again, President Biden is trying to shift blame for high gas prices onto energy companies while threatening them with higher taxes--which would hurt American workers even more, further stifle production, and lead to higher energy prices. The reality is this administration has waged war on American energy since Biden's first day in office. It has made us less energy secure and resulted in everyday life being more expensive for people across the board--from the gas pump to the grocery store. Surging diesel and natural gas prices this winter will only add to the pain people are feeling. It's past time to reverse the high costs of Biden's forced energy transition by flipping the switch for more American energy production and infrastructure. Energy and Commerce Republicans remain committed to leading on solutions to lower costs, reduce emissions, and strengthen our energy security."
