Biden EPA Pauses Attack on Texas Energy Industry

Good news: The Biden administration has given up, at least temporarily, on implementing new “draconian” bureaucratic regulations that would strangle Texas’s energy industry. The move comes at a time of global energy-market uncertainty, with the war in Ukraine and other factors causing price fluctuations that have raised energy costs for many Americans.

Since Biden took office in January 2021, the price of a barrel of oil has spiked by 44 percent, and further threatening the world’s energy security by obstructing Texas oil production seems to be, at least for now, a bridge too far even for the extremist Environmental Protection Agency under Biden.
