Stand with Mike Lee in Defending American Energy Producers
Joe Biden in 2020 - “No more subsidies for fossil fuel industry. No more drilling on federal lands. No more drilling, including offshore. No ability for the oil industry to continue to drill, period. It ends.”
Make no mistake, Joe Biden has waged a relentless assault against the American Oil and Gas industry:
-Jan 2021 - Executive Order halting oil and gas leasing on federal land
-May 2021 - Biden Administration pressured big banks to divest from traditional energy investments
-June 2021 - Biden revoked permit and canceled the Keystone XL Pipeline
-August 2021 - Called on Russia and OPEC to increase production to counter rising prices instead of increasing domestic production
-August 2021 - Increased regulations and scrutiny to punish the fossil fuel industry
-Februrary 22, 2022 - On the eve of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Biden delayed issuing new oil and gas drilling permits on federal land.
In the Uintah Basin, our local Utah energy industry is waiting for the Biden Administration to issue a Record of Decision on the Uintah Basin Railway.
The top challengers in my Senate race voted for Joe Biden and are relying heavily on support from anti-American-energy Democrats in their campaigns. My challengers have been silent on Biden's assault on our American energy producers that has given Vladimir Putin every advantage he needed to invade Ukraine. Now this assault on American energy is also hurting Americans and fueling inflation. I have fought consistently for free markets, deregulation, and American strength, and I need your support.
