House Republicans and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) are right to push ever harder for greater domestic oil and gas production despite President Joe Biden’s hostility against fossil fuels.
As Manchin has pushed with at least minor success to force Biden by law to reopen some lease sales the president had canceled, House Republicans last week held hearings on two new bills to streamline permitting processes and another to require the resumption of onshore oil and gas lease sales and provide strict deadlines for offshore offerings.
The bill garnering the most attention came from Rep. Garrett Graves . His legislation, known as the BUILDER Act, is designed to and be easier to review, and also to provide quicker resolution of opponents’ concerns without automatic recourse to lengthy lawsuits.production of key minerals used in green energy technologies. If the Biden eco-warriors really want electric vehicles to be more attractive to buyers, they should want the minerals necessary for their batteries to be able to be put to use more quickly and at less cost.
Finally, Rep. Bruce Westerman would further bolster the track Manchin is on by requiring the Biden administration to resume and expedite onshore and offshore oil, gas, and geothermal lease sales.All of this makes good sense. Higher energy costs are not only plaguing American working families, but are also essentially harming the very environment Biden’s radicals say they want to save.
