Bill Explanation
Bill Explanation
This bill, H.RES.1020, condemns the Biden administration's plans to remove sanctions on the Maduro regime in Venezuela and negotiate with Iran in response to the crisis in Ukraine. It calls instead for Congress and the administration to support the production of American energy.
This bill was introduced on April 1, 2022, by Mr. Palmer and many other representatives. It was referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, as well as the Committees on Energy and Commerce, Transportation and Infrastructure, and Natural Resources.
Key Points
The United States was a net energy exporter before President Biden took office.
America's energy independence ended within one year of the Biden Presidency.
President Biden's policies discouraged investment in domestic energy infrastructure and production.
President Biden revoked permitting for the Keystone XL Pipeline and issued a moratorium on energy production on Federal lands.
President Biden supported the Russian oil industry by refusing to sanction the Nord Stream 2 pipeline.
A lack of domestically produced energy forces the United States to rely on imported oil.
Due to the suspension of Russian oil imports, officials in the Biden administration have met with Venezuelan and Iranian officials to negotiate oil imports.
The Biden administration acknowledges that the governments of Venezuela and Iran violate human rights.
In 2019, the Trump administration imposed sanctions on Venezuelan oil.
American energy independence should be achieved again for national security and the security of allies.
President Biden should rescind executive orders that prohibit the approval of new leases on Federal lands and waters.
President Biden should take action to reestablish American energy independence.
This includes authorizing the completion of the Keystone XL Pipeline, streamlining the approval of new leases, addressing regulatory burdens, and increasing energy exports to European allies.
