Congressman Biggs Protects American Energy from the Biden Regime

Today, Congressman Andy Biggs joined his colleagues to pass H.R. 21, the Strategic Production Response Act, which would prevent President Biden from misusing the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR), and ensure that the Administration has to develop a plan to increase domestic energy production before drawing down oil from the SPR in the future. He also introduced the Strategic Petroleum Response and Implementation Act, which would require that this plan is being implemented before any Administration can draw on our oil reserves. 

“The Biden Regime’s relentless war on American energy must come to an immediate halt,” said Congressman Biggs. “The Biden Regime has decimated America’s domestic energy production and has no plan to rebuild our supply. That’s unacceptable.  

“The SPR was never put in place to bail out failed energy policies or to sell oil to adversaries like Communist China.

“My legislation ensures that rogue Administrations do not exploit these limited fuel reserves and allows for enhanced energy and economic security.”  

Earlier this year, Congressman Biggs reintroduced two pieces of legislation to tackle inflation through domestic energy production and to stimulate more production. They may be read below: 

H.R. 98, the Federal Land Freedom Act, would allow states to take over responsibility for energy development on federal lands within the borders of their states.

H.R. 110, the FUEL Reform Act, would eliminate the Renewable Fuel Standard, the biofuel mandate currently established in law, which artificially inflates the cost of gasoline.
