Senator Joe Manchin(D) Chairman of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee:
"Today's release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve is an important policy Band-Air for rising gas prices but does not solve the self-inflicted wound that shortsighted energy policy is having on our nation...It is critical that Washington does not jeopardize America's
energy security in the near term and leave consumers vulnerable to rising prices...I continue to call on Pres Biden to responsibly increase energy production here at home and to reverse course to allow the Keystone XL pipeline to built."
Senator Tom Cotton:
"Joe Biden cancelled the Keystone Pipeline. He banned drilling on federal land. He put anit-energy extremists in his cabinet. Now he blames energy companies for the high price of gas?
He is delusional."
Kevin McCarthy, House Minority Leader:
"Dear Mr. President: Let us produce our own energy and create jobs right here at home.
Stop putting America last."
