Biden increases price of gasoline. He's insane.
GOP lawmakers criticize Biden admin's price hike on public oil and gas drilling leases
The Department of the Interior on Friday issued the long-awaited report, order by President Biden when he first took office when he paused leases to oil and gas contracts on federal lands citing concerns about climate change.
"Amid surging energy prices, the Biden Administration proposes increasing the cost of energy production even further," Rep. Matt Rosendale, R-Mont., said in a Friday tweet. "This administration is exacerbating the problem, at the expense of American families, all to advance their radical green agenda."
Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, condemned the order as an "ISANE escalation of the Biden administration's war on American energy" in a Friday tweet.
"At a time when supply chains are breaking down and inflation is skyrocketing, Biden is indulging in fringe green ideology that will increase energy prices and put all goods further out of reach," he wrote.
INTERIOR CALLS FOR HIKING RATES ON OIL AND GAS COMPANIES TO DRILL ON FEDERAL LANDS
Rep. Greg Murphy, R-N.C., said the move puts the U.S. at a "grave national security risk."
"Delusional @POTUS and his Anti-American administration have put this nation at grave security risk by forcing us to be energy dependent. Our oil reserves are for EMERGENCIES not approval ratings," he said in a Friday tweet.
Growth is found only in adversity.
