Today, Congressman August Pfluger from Texas expressed his concerns over President Biden's recent decision to halt new offshore drilling projects in the United States.
Pfluger stated, “In a last-ditch effort to shut down the American energy industry, President Biden banned almost all new U.S. offshore drilling projects." He emphasized that this move "will eliminate good paying jobs for energy workers, move production overseas, and threatens funding of coastal revitalization projects."
He also highlighted the growing global demand for energy, stating, "As the world grows hungry for more energy, we cannot produce less of it." Pfluger indicated that Republicans in Congress are prepared to collaborate with former President Trump to boost American energy production from the outset.
