— Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) released a statement condemning the Biden Administration's 60-day moratorium on issuing oil and gas leases on federal lands and waters:

“President Biden is wasting no time pandering to his illogical base and devastating American energy dominance and oil and gas jobs in the process. Shutting down over 10% of our nation's energy production with the stroke of a pen is gross executive overreach and demonstrates that the Biden administration is more committed to radical Green New Deal policies than national security.

“Preventing this bad policy is exactly why I introduced the Saving America’s Energy Future Act. Our nation is struggling. We need energy and jobs, not pandering and politics. President Biden must immediately halt this unscientific and illogical assault on American energy.”
