How Biden’s energy policies are ‘actually empowering our enemies’
August 16, 2021
WASHINGTON —Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) joined Larry Kudlow on Fox Business Network to discuss how President Biden's war on American energy is empowering America's enemies while killing our energy independence and prosperity.
Full length of the interview can be found here and some key quotes are below:
- I'm trying to find anything on which this administration is not a colossal failure in terms of what's happening at the border, now what we're seeing in Afghanistan, and it's such a sad situation, and then with respect to oil… The United States of America sits on a massive deposit of oil and we're now looking to OPEC to try to save us by importing oil, it's absolutely absurd.
- We have massive reservoirs here in America that we could be going and exploring, and then distributing liquified natural gas to the world and drive down CO2 levels, which we did to 1990 levels, using innovation, technology, hard-working American spirit, unlike the incompetence that this administration is inflicting upon the American people, driving up the cost of goods, inflation, open borders, disaster in Afghanistan, and now this: begging OPEC for energy.
- The Trump administration did such an exceptional job in terms of driving this economy, opening up, firing on all cylinders, and we saw it particularly in oil and natural gas, we saw the explosion of what that meant for the world.
- This is about power and control and they're not just incompetent, they're actually empowering our enemies and making America dangerous by empowering the Middle East, Russia, and China.
