North Carolinians are struggling to fill up their tanks and pay their electricity bills \u2014 the last thing they are worried about is the \u2018social cost\u2019 of energy. We need to be unleashing American energy to lower prices, not cripple production with burdensome, costly regulations,\u201d said Rep. Hudson.\n\n\u201cThe Biden-Harris Administration is proud of their war on traditional energy sources; they began their assault on Day 1. As a result, Americans are feeling the pain at the pump. It\u2019s just a fact that government interference in the energy industry has directly contributed to these rising costs. No more manipulated studies and biased research \u2013 the American people deserve transparent and honest information,\u201d said RSC Chairman Hern.\n\n\u201cThe Biden-Harris White House has proven their willingness to hide behind biased and flawed research to advance their war against American energy producers. I am proud to join forces with Representatives Hudson and Hern and our friend Senator Lankford to prohibit the federal government from using flawed metrics to impose new mandates on the energy industry. The White House should unleash clean, affordable, American energy to bring costs down for the American people,\" said RSC HEAT Chairman Pfluger.\n\nJoining Hudson, Hern, and Pfluger are Representatives Mike Carey (R-OH), Andy Biggs (R-AZ), Guy Reschenthaler (R-PA), Tim Walberg (R-MI), Jake LaTurner (R-KS), Brian Babin (R-TX), Nick Langworthy (R-NY), Chip Roy (R-TX), Laurel Lee (R-FL), and Jeff Duncan (R-SC).\n\nRead more in Fox News HERE.
