Democrats Block Motion to Make US Energy Independent the Same Day Biden Tells Oil Companies to Start Producing More or Else
House Democrats have blocked a motion by Republicans to consider a bill that would give back energy independence to the U.S and end any reliance on foreign oil and gas.
This is the fourth time Democrats have blocked the motion and while they play games in Congress, Americans are feeling the pinch of rising oil and gas prices and dwindling supplies.
A motion was offered to block the previous question on the House floor. If they had been successful in blocking the previous question, the House could consider H.R. 6858 – the American Energy Independence from Russia Act – which would support energy production in America.
The motion was blocked by the Democrats – with 218 voting against the motion – the second time it has been blocked in March, and the bill was offered by Rep. Michelle Fischbach (R-MN) both times and was initially introduced by Reps. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) and Bruce Westerman (R-AR).
If they had of been successful, the bill would have:
• Approved the Keystone XL pipeline.
• Removed all restrictions on liquefied natural gas (LNG) exports.
• Restarted oil and gas leasing on federal lands and waters.
• Protected American energy and mineral development from attacks by the administration.
• Require the administration to submit an energy security plan within 30 days and requires Biden’s energy secretary to develop a plan to replace oil drawn down from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR).
The very same day the motion was blocked, Joe Biden urged American oil companies to restart production to lower the costs of gas and oil. Biden even went as far to threaten the oil companies with punishment if they didn’t increase supply.
Kevin McCarthy, the House Minority Leader (R-CA), called for America to “replace Russian energy with American energy independence & accelerating energy exports to our allies.”
Before the change of heart, Biden was looking to Venezuela and Iran for oil supply. Now he is encouraging more production, Biden accused oil companies of “hoarding” federal oil leases.
In support of the resolution, House Republicans took the floor and Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) said, “While Putin continues to wage war on Ukraine, exposing our dependence on Russian energy. Biden continues to wage war on our domestic oil and gas industry that provides sustainable, reliable energy to the American people.”
He added, “This week, Biden doubled down his attack by releasing a budget that includes an astonishing $45 billion in tax hikes on American energy producers.”
Rep. John Joyce slammed Biden’s poor decision-making:
“In his budget, President Biden has chosen to put solar panels ahead of natural gas. He has chosen to put windmills ahead of coal. He has chosen the Green New Deal ahead of Pennsylvanians,”
Adding, “Now the president has decided to ridiculously release oil from our Strategic [Petroleum] Reserves without a concrete plan to refill them.”

To me this is an act of war on the American people! We can either VOTE THESE DEMOCRAT POLITICIANS OUT. THEN ARRESTED THEM FOR THEIR CORRUPT. BIDEN IS SELLING US OUT TO CHINA FOR THESE DEMOCRAT AND RINO WHO HAS INVESTMENTS IN CHINA ECONOMY
In Europe, Biden told them America would be sending them millions of barrels of oil/gas. I found that astonishing. When we were energy independent we were able to sell them fuel, but Biden has destroyed that independence. When Trump came into office he discovered Biden and Obama had virtually EMPTIED our Strategic Fuel Reserves that are for EMERGENCY NEEDS LIKE WAR. President Trump REFILLED THEM. Now Biden is again draining them. He first removed almost a third and sold 25% of that to his good buddy China. The rest of the withdrawal he sprinkled in chosen US areas. No plan to replenish our National Reserve at all.
Last week he announced he’d be withdrawing a MILLION BARRELS A DAY from the Strategic Reserve emergency amount, and would continue to do so until later this year (can we say MIDTERM ELECTIONS?). NOT from pumping New oil.. .. NO.. ..FROM THE RESERVE. This is not only sick, it is ignoring our country’s well being and safety.
Remember the Uranium One Deal that Hillary, Obama, Biden, and who knows who else, profited from in arranging to sell 25% of our Uranium to Russia through a convoluted process going through Canadian banks? Last week Biden also mentioned we’re now BUYING URANIUM FROM RUSSIA. And not with the money he, Obama, and Hillary made off the earlier deal.
You wonder what Biden and Xi talk about on those two hour phone calls that Biden refuses to release transcripts on? He always comes out and tells us EACH TIME that AUTOCRACY is much better than Democracy. Does he do things that help China (and Russia)? Constantly. China is playing him like a fiddle, to America’s detriment.
I dream of this Administration being escorted out of the WH, under arrest.
No arrests time to hang these tyrants the democrat party has gotten away with selling out our country and cr8mes against humanity. Now it is time they pay the price. And if the DOJ doesn’t do their job by punishing all involved in destroying America then they too are just as guilty and should be punished as well. No more games America we need to take our country back. These are tyrants and traitors to America they hate America and will do anything they can to finish us off all for the NWO that they will not be apart of. They are idiots that have broken their Oath to protect the laws in our Constitution so now is the time or we will lose our country forever do you understand this?
I read somewhere, the oil being released is going to OTHER COUNTRIES.
THE PERFECT EXAMPLE OF THE TOTAL IDIOTRACY THAT IS IN THIS ADMINISTRATION.
IT IS TIME THAT THESE TRAITORS AND CONTROL TREASONISTS ARE REMOVED AND REPLACED FOR THE GOOD OF THE COUNTRY AND THE CITIZENS.
Just shows that Biden and the Democratic Party has no idea of what they are doing and don’t care about the citizens of this country day to day problems. How did these idiots get elected?
Biden is supply Europe with crude and natural gas. It’s not what we are drilling it’s from OUR strategic reserve. Gas will not go down until we either drill it ourselves or crude prices fall. Common sense. Biden said and I quote “ we can’t build a future that’s made in America if we ourselves are dependent on china for materials that power the products of today and tomorrow”. Hell of a statement from an unAmerican president like Biden. But then again Biden has lied his way through the government for over 40 years. That’s the sad part.
