President Biden is destroying U.S. energy industry and ordinary Americans, especially in rural states like Montana, are suffering as a result of his actions.

The Biden administration’s decision to cancel American energy is hurting American families. Montanans understand firsthand that high gas prices, while regularly traveling long distances, have a devastating impact on one’s wages. And the American people who are paying the most at the pump are the ones who can least afford it. We must revitalize America’s energy production and energy dominance to give long-term relief to the American people and assure our security.
On his first day in office, President Joe Biden initiated his war against fossil fuel production in the United States, signing an executive order to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline. The Keystone XL pipeline was prepared to bring in over 800,000 barrels of crude oil a day to U.S. refiners, 150,000 barrels of that being pumped out of the Bakken region in Eastern Montana and Western North Dakota.
Thousands of jobs were lost, and local economies were dealt a life-altering blow. Shortly thereafter, the president announced a moratorium on oil and gas leases on U.S. lands and waters — a crushing blow to America’s oil and gas production. As a direct result of these decisions, American families are feeling the negative effects every time they fill up their gas tanks.
Not only has Biden severely compromised our nation’s ability to produce energy domestically, but he has also refused to take responsibility for the nearly 60% increase in energy prices. From oil and gas companies to Russian President Vladimir Putin, Biden has blamed practically everyone else for why Americans are paying hundreds of dollars more every month for gas and energy. Meanwhile, American oil and gas companies are being demonized and scolded by the Administration almost daily for not producing more oil.
