EPA Targets Oil and Gas Industry, Oversteps Authority

Just weeks after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) had overstepped its authority in trying to control how America generates electricity, the Biden administration’s EPA is using the same playbook to bypass the states and force oil and gas out of the market entirely. This abuse of power — and its impact on American families — should concern all of us.

Biden is unilaterally changing policy to force his “Green New Deal” on states and the American people, one way or another. This is a president who, until recently, stated his intent to declare a “climate change emergency” so he could expand his powers to single-handedly impede the production of traditional forms of energy sources like oil, gas, and coal.
