As gas prices across the country continue to soar, and with President Biden's announcement to ban Russian oil imports, it is time that America looked to our own backyard to meet our energy needs. To ease the burden on hardworking Americans, we must increase domestic production to make America energy independent again. We can no longer allow Russia, Venezuela, or oil from the Middle East to meet our energy needs. The Biden administration must commit to an America first strategy in oil production. America must increase production so that we are not only energy independent but so that we can once again become a net exporter of oil and natural gas. We must drill America, refine America, and we must buy American oil. That is why I joined many of my Republican colleagues in a letter to President Biden requesting the administration open Federal lands to energy production, end unnecessary and burdensome bureaucratic regulations, and approve and expedite construction of the Keystone XL pipeline. President Biden must commit to these actions immediately to ease the burden on Americans at the pump. ____________________
