WASHINGTON, DC – Congressman August Pfluger (TX-11) submitted multiple amendments to protect the American oil and gas industry from radical green climate activism in the annual spending bill. Instead of prioritizing domestic energy production, Democrats blocked Pfluger’s amendments that would have:
Rep. August Pfluger: “Despite record-high energy costs, producers in the Permian Basin are still enduring a barrage of attacks from the Biden Administration in rhetoric and policy.
