Right out of the gate, President Biden took unilateral action that dealt devastating blows to rural communities across the United States. As chairman of the Western Caucus, I have heard firsthand how the cancellation of the Keystone pipeline and the moratorium on Federal oil and gas leases have directly impacted rural America. From eliminating good-paying union jobs in Minnesota and decimating small businesses in South Dakota, to gutting local government and school district revenues in New Mexico, to harming State infrastructure budgets in Utah, these orders have negatively impacted workers, families, and business owners throughout the West. But let's be clear: All Americans will feel the effects of President Biden's actions. Also, let's be clear: Just because we cut domestic energy production, does not mean our energy needs decrease. Our Nation will face higher costs on energy, on goods, on transportation. Under this ban, the President has throttled our economic recovery. We will continue working to reverse these misguided actions. ____________________
