Why is America facing such a painful gas price crisis? It\u2019s not because of bad old Putin. It\u2019s because, back a the start of Biden\u2019s administration, he canceled leases for oil drilling on federal land. U.S. energy companies could no longer produce oil or natural gas. That shut down our energy production, leading to skyrocketing prices.<\/p>\n

But, why didn\u2019t Biden reverse this decision, when prices hit all-time highs in July of last year? Well, a leaked memo revealed his Bureau of Ocean Energy Management director acknowledged that leasing land for drilling would \u201coffer greater energy security.\u201d Instead, she sided against that, urging Biden to rip off energy companies to help \u201cclimate change.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, Republicans are fuming.<\/p>\n

From Fox News:<\/p>\n

Republican leaders of two key House panels are investigating the Biden administration over its fossil fuel leasing practices in response to a leaked \u201cenergy security\u201d memo\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Biden Administration has obstructed America\u2019s energy producers in an effort to force a radical Green New Deal agenda on the American people,\u201d Comer told Fox News Digital in a statement. \u201cThe Democrats\u2019 ongoing war against America\u2019s oil and gas industry has only driven energy prices higher and families across the country are paying the price.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A team of Republicans is launching an investigation into Biden\u2019s questionable energy policies. This is due to a leaked memo that revealed the Biden administration knew that leasing land for drilling would provide \u201cenergy security.\u201d Instead, they kept drilling shut down to push their \u201cradical Green New Deal agenda.\u201d<\/p>\n

Republicans are blasting Biden\u2019s officials within the Department of Interior and the BOEM. It seems these political and environmental activists are really calling the shots, not the man in the Oval Office. Biden appears to be sitting back and letting these radicals push dangerous, leftist policies, instead of putting Americans\u2019 best interests first.<\/p>\n

These lawmakers are calling on more oversight of the DOI and its permitting review process. The Biden administration has slow-walked what leasing permits they do allow, ensuring the oil companies aren\u2019t drilling for more resources.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Americans struggle to put gas in their cars. The price of everything from food to everyday goods continues to climb, thanks to the cost of shipping. And as summer rolls around, expect energy prices to remain painfully high.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s pretty unbelievable that Biden would put the left\u2019s radical climate agenda ahead of everyday Americans. But the bottom line is, Joe would rather appease radical leftists, than help Americans.<\/p>\n
